There is no doubt that increased application of sprinkler protection through a building can significantly reduce fire losses. In many compartment fires, the water damage is far more extensive than the flame damage. This paper examines the possibility of controlling the flow of water from sprinklers
## Abstract Alpert's expressions are used extensively to calculate the maximum temperature and velocity in the ceiling‐jet at any distance, __r__, from the fire axis. These expressions are valid for unconfined ceilings insofar as the environment outside the ceiling‐jet is uniform in temperature and
## Abstract Reaction to fire standard tests on materials used as linings are not sufficient in themselves to predict the behaviour of growing fires. However, flashover times with cellulosic linings have been correlated qualitatively with the British test, but generally there is wide divergence in t
