Exposing Fire Service Hose in a Flashover Chamber: Report of Test

At the request of the Fire Department City of New York (FDNY), UL FSRI instrumented and documented a series of 12 thermal exposure hose experiments that were conducted in the burn compartment of an FDNY flashover simulator. The main objective of the experiments was to observe the performance of fire hoses exposed to the heat flux from flaming hot gas layer conditions above the hose.
