SOME ASPECTS OF FIRES IN GLOVE BOXES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4186365
A series of tests was carried out to determine the magnitude of the stresses to which a glove box and its associated fittings would be subject if a fire occurred within the box. From this information an attempt was made to forecast the probable effect of accidental fires. A few fire-extinguishing agents were tested in the light of estimated requirements. (auth)
