Message-ID: <20071009130931.42AD7482E6@smtp.ekonbilisim.net>

Dear All,

I would like to ask about the marking/labelling the parts of the buildings
(windows, walls, etc.), which are suitable for "emergency forced entry", in
case of a fire. 
 
When I checked the general pre-fire planning literature, I couldn't find a
generally accepted sign nor a marking for this purpose. Although I couldn't
find a supportive literature, I know of a "red downward looking triangle"
for this purpose; such as below.
 
Any comments concerning such a practice, will be appreciated...
 
Rgds.

	COMPARISON
Message-ID: <4597288BACBE26449799144F98389AE902361F@SERVER.milesengr.local>

For 2" and smaller diameter fire sprinkler piping,  the NFPA 13 standard
adopted by most jurisdictions in the US allows schedule 10 steel piping
with listed roll grooved clamp-type couplings as well as sched 40 steel
piping with threaded cast iron couplings.  
 
I am looking for comparative data on these two types of small diameter
piping materials configurations. Any information or opinions on the
relative strength, corrosion resistance, and cost vs. benefit,  of
threaded sched 40 vs. roll grooved sched 10 systems would be
appreciated.

Dear all,
 
I am interested in information about fires in public areas (buildings,
ships, trains, etc) where textiles have played a major role, either as
first item ignited or in the further development of the fire. Textile
products of interest are curtains and draperies, uholstered furniture,
mattresses, bedding items, carpets etc. I'll be grateful for any input
on this subject.

Dear all,

This is a reminder for the 14th November symposium on the landmark 
large-scale fire tests conducted in a high-rise building in Dalmarnock,

Glasgow (UK).

Registration is now open at:
http://www.see.ed.ac.uk/FIRESEAT/2007.html 

A 220-page book [*] describing the experiments and modelling in detail

is included in the registration package. Here is an pdf preview of the

book, showing select pages from the volume:

Subject: SFPE> Studies on Stairwell Pressurisation
In-Reply-To: <4726E59B.5D49.0032.0@newcastle.edu.au>
Message-ID: <20071030075927.1247048255@smtp.ekonbilisim.net>

Dear All,

On a particular stairwell (height, free spaces, geometry, etc.), how can we
determine the optimum stairwell pressurisation method, for smoke control
management purposes? More particularly, how can we determine whether single
injection is sufficient or multiple injection is essential?  

For to answer the above questions, I am looking for sample studies,
- made on "Stairwell Pressurisation Modelling" using engineering dynamics or
CFD modelling techniques,
- full scale site tests on "Stairwell Pressurisation Systems"..

Thanks in advance...

Rgds.
