Abstract

A realistic bedroom fire test demonstrated that a sprinkler having a smaller than standard orifice is capable of controlling a bedroom fire, protecting the room structure, and eliminating fire spread. A test room was constructed with a 3. 05-m by 3. 66-m floor area and a 2. 44-m high ceiling. A window and a door leading to a simulated hallway were incorporated. A flow meter and pressure gage were installed in the sprinkler piping system to give accurate readings of water discharge rate and pressure.
