Comprehensive, international overview of traditional, currentand newly proposed fire resistance testing methods for industrialfluids.

14 peer-reviewed papers from leading researchers in the fieldaddress the following industrial fire prevention issues:Fundamental principles of fire resistance testing • New testingprocedures that will dramatically impact the fire-resistant rankingof hydraulic fluids both in the USA and abroad • Previous andcurrent testing methodologies and limitations • Spray flammabilitytests Innovative testing methodology • Potential toxicity of fluidcombustion by-products • Pool fire burning modeling andcharacteristics.

A critical resource for fluid manufacturers, turbine oil andhydraulic fluid suppliers, users of fire resistant fluids inmining, aerospace, steel and automotive industries, maintenanceengineers, testing laboratories, insurance companies and governmentagencies responsible for fluid test and selection.
