Liquid Pool Fire Testing
Liquid hydrocarbons can be formed into pools and ignited, either alone or mixed. The engineers and technicians at Spadeadam have extensive experience of pool fires involving LNG, LPG, methanol, condensate, kerosene, oil etc.
Spadeadam has a wide range of instrumentation available for studying fires. Typical scientific measurements would include:
* Mass flow rate/burning rate of fuel
* Incident thermal radiation using radiometers
* Temperatures on objects and structures
* Heat fluxes to objects and structures using calorimeters
* Emissive power or temperatures of flames using Infra Red Imaging
* Effect of mitigation techniques
* Smoke evolution
* Ignitability
* Meteorological conditions
