Naval Shipboard Fire Risk Criteria - Berthing Compartment Fire Study and Fire Performance Guidelines
Judicious application of shipboard materials and choice of compartment furnishings can significantly reduce the threat of serious fire on board ship. Unfortunately the fire performance of materials is currently difficult to ascertain from laboratory fire tests on the materials. Full size and quarter-scale compartment fires in conjunction with an analytical treatment were performed to obtain an improved understanding of the relationships between the laboratory fire test assessment and the observed behavior of materials in actual fires. The compartment fire experiments indicated that the temperature of the hot air layer below the ceiling is a suitable quantitative measure of the level of fire buildup in a compartment. When this temperature exceeds 700C there is sufficient radiation from the hot air layer and the heated upper surfaces to cause ignition of all combustible materials in the compartment. Ventilation and its points of application were found to be very important considerations. Observations of the fire scenarios in the compartment tests along with an empirical and analytical analysis of fire growth in compartment spaces have resulted in an improved application of the fire test ratings.
