Design, Development and Testing of a Hybrid Device for In-Situ Testing of Sealant

January 19, 2005
Author(s)
Christopher C. White, E Embree, C Buch
A new hybrid in-situ sealant-testing device that uses movement to both characterize and fatigue standard ASTM C719 sealant samples is described. This five sample device, records the force-response data for every deformation cycle of every sample. From this

Workshop to Define Information Needed by Emergency Responders During Building Emergencies

January 3, 2005
Author(s)
Walter W. Jones, William D. Davis, D D. Evans, David G. Holmberg, Steven T. Bushby, K A. Reed
On May 3, 2004, NIST sponsored a workshop to identify the information needs for emergency responders. The purpose of this workshop was to obtain guidance on the type of building static and dynamic tactical information needed by public safety officials, how

Characterization of a 2-D Pool Fire Simulator

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
P J. Disimile, John M. Davis
The current paper introduces a facility to be used for the investigation of fire suppressant transport and pool fire extinction in an environment similar to an aircraft engine nacelle. This work is done as part of an ongoing effort to develop a suppressant

Extinguishment of Cup-Burner Flames in Low Gravity

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
F Takahashi, Gregory T. Linteris, V Katta
The effects of oxidizer stream velocity and oxygen concentration, as well as gravity and pressure, on the extinguishment limits of laminar co-flow diffusion flames of methane, formed in a cup-burner apparatus, have been studied experimentally and

Flammability of Nanocomposites-Effects of the Shape of Nanoparticles

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
Takashi Kashiwagi
Nanocomposites based on three different shapes of nanoscale particles, sphere (silica), plate (clay), and tube (carbon nanotube), were prepared and the dispersion of the particles in the nanocomposites was confirmed by various techniques using TEM, SEM

Standards Requirements for LADARs?

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
Geraldine S. Cheok, William C. Stone, Alan M. Lytle
This paper presents a discussion of standards requirements for LADAR. Two specific questions are addressed: (1) is there a need for such standards and (2) what types of standards are required? LADAR standards development issues and current standardization

Analysis of Ventilation Data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Building Assessment Survey and Evaluation (BASE) Study. (NIST IR 7145) [SUPERSEDED BY NIST IR 7145-R, Published 3/10/2009]

December 1, 2004
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, J Gorfain
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Building Assessment Survey and Evaluation (BASE) study included a range of measurements in 100 randomly selected U.S. office buildings for the purpose of characterizing the existing building stock with respect

CF3I Stability Under Storage.

December 1, 2004
Author(s)
Michelle K. Donnelly, Richard H. Harris Jr., Jiann C. Yang
This research investigates the stability of iodotrifluoromethane (CF3I) during storage. For CF3I to be used as a fire extinguishing agent, it must be able to be stored for long periods of time at high pressure in metal containers without degrading and
