Abstract
[ABSTRACT ONLY] As part of a collaborative research project between the National Fire Protection Research Foundation and the Building and Fire Research Laboratory at NIST, the thermal response characteristics of a variety of large orifice and extra large orifice sprinklers were investigated. In addition to conducting the thermal sensitivity tests as outlined in UL 199, Automatic Sprinklers for Fire-Protection Service, the conductivity tests outlined in ISO 6182-1, Fire Protection - Automatic Sprinkler Systems, Part 1: Requirements and Test Methods for sprinklers, were also conducted.Proceedings Title
