SINTEF Energy - Norwegian Fire Research Laboratory (NBL) has the task to carry out a series of fire tests with confined jet and pool fires, according to the test programme F3 of Blast and Fire Engineering for Topside Structures. This report is for jet fire test JF6.
The jet fire test JF6 represents a vertical release of condensate (a liquid fraction from an oil refinery). The main purpose of this test was to compare a well-ventilated fire with close-to-stoichiometric fires.
The general fire behaviour such as flame geometry, the temperature field and heat load from a naturally ventilated fire was studied in the test programme. This test, JF6, represents a well-ventilated fire, with a variation of air-to-fuel equivalence ratio of 2.28±0.59 with a vertical jet release at low level. The flow of fuel was 0.90 kg/s, with a release pressure of 15.5 bar.
This technical report includes description of the test rig, the experimental details and a set of curves from the measured parameters.
