High efficiency filter burning humidity tests for Project CGI-791 IPD Confinement Program
Burning test were conducted on the three principal manufacturers' filters on the above dates. These tests were run chiefly to determine the fire resistive qualities of new adhesives used in binding the internals to the filter frames, and to test innovations adopted by two of the manufacturers. Moisture saturation tests are also being conducted, but as they are incomplete, will be covered by a separate report. These tests are being conducted in connection with the IPD confinement program and also at the request of AEC Safety and Fire Protection Engineers at Washington, DC, and at Hanford. The manufacturers, with our cooperation, are continuously endeavoring to improve the fire resistant qualities of their products. The change in adhesives and the innovations were made as a result of this endeavor. The tests were observed by representative of AEC Fire and Safety Engineers from Washington, DC, the Idaho Operations Office and the Hanford Operation. Members of IPD, HLO, CPD, and other HAPO Operations, and a representatives of the Purchasing Command, Army Chemical Corps, from Edgewood, Maryland, also witnessed the test. 33 figs.
