Abstract:
The imminent lack of availability of halon fire
suppressants has sparked worldwide efforts in developing
other total-flooding agents. Water mist systems are
potential replacements in many industrial uses, as well
as in new markets, such as residences and commercial
aircraft. To facilitate the process of commercializing
water mist systems, a workshop on water mist fire
protection was held at the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, MD, 1-2
March 1993. The workshop was funded by the Building and
Fire Research Laboratory (BFRL) and the Advanced
Technology Program (ATP) at NIST. One goal of the
workshop was to stimulate proposals to the ATP program
in the area of water mist fire protection.
