Abstract

The extinguishment of methane-air flames by layered mixtures of Halon 1301 and carbon dioxide was studied by means of an interferometric technique. In quenching tests of downward propagation in stoichiometric methane-air mixtures based on flammability limits and flame speed data, Halon 1301 was about five times more effective, on a volumetric basis, than carbon dioxide as an extinguishant.
