Abstract: In 1950, Ansul, in conjunction with the Tfexas Eastern Gas Transmission Company, conducted a series of Natural Gas Fire Tests in Longview, Texas. A six-inch pipe was tapped into a 24-inch gas transmission line to give a large volume of gas at 850 psi. Fittings were provided so that the gas could be discharged vertically and horizontally and so that the six-inch line could be reduced to 1/2-, 1 1/2, 2- or 4-inch pipe. The objectives of the test were as follows: 1. To determine the suitability of dry chemical extinguishing equipment on typical natural gas fires. 2. To determine the flow rates of dry chemical required to extinguish burning under various volumes and conditions.
