Continued cup-burner, laboratory-scale discharge, and field-scale testing is crucial to halon alternatives development. The laboratory-scale testing allows for screening of chemicals before field testing, thus saving time and money. Flow calculations and standardization validate the laboratory work before continuing to larger (field-scale) testing. Small-, medium-, and large-scale testing is an intermediate step between the laboratory and full-scale field tests. The complete NMERI test results for the efforts described here will soon be published and available through the National Technical Information Service (NTIS).

The Compartment Fire Modeling Research group of the Center for Fire Research, National Bureau of Standards has been charged with the development of a "benchmark" compartment fire model. As part of this activity, a catalog of available fire model algorithms has been compiled. The catalog contains algorithms which calculate various physical/chemical fire phenomena. The description or each algorithm includes the input(s), output(s), and calculations performed. In addition, each algorithm has a computer subroutine written for it in FORTRAN 77. The variables used as input and output throughout the catalog are cross referenced. This enables a catalog user co determine which routines would be required to calculate a particular fire phenomena. Updates and revisions will be issued periodically.

Protection and Survival Laboratory Memorandums are usually preliminary or progress-accounting documents intended for use within Government or by a specific non-Government activity, and as such, may not comply with the DOT and FAA publications procedures and formats. Information contained in these reports is subject to additional evaluation or change on review of the date conduct of additional testing or receipt of additional facts.
