N2  - Test results showed that the use of inorganic ground cover materials in areas exposed to the hazards associated with a large fuel spill could contribute materially toward reducing the devastating effects of a major fuel fire. The test bed comprised a circular pan, 6 ft in diam and 5 in. deep, fabricated from 0. 25-in. thick steel. In the center of this pan was a vertical cylinder 5 in. long and 6 in. in diam, fabricated of 0. 375-in. wire mesh. As an aid in estimating the area of flame spread over the ground cover material during five 2-min consecutive time intervals, the surface of the pan was sectioned into areas of 0. 5 sq ft by means of a grid fabricated of 0. 125-in. diam steel rods.<p />
