TY - JOUR PY - 1974// TI - Methane flame extinguishment with layered halon or carbon dioxide JO - Fire technology A1 - Strasser, A. A1 - Liebman, I A1 - KUCHTA, JM SP - 25 EP - 34 VL - 10 IS - 1 N2 - 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.
