Summary

Critical water application rate and calculated rate at the asymptotic limit of a large fire for five plastics, with a water application efficiency of one. Based on Tewarson (2002), pp. 3-148 to 3-149.

Original illustration for Critical water application rate, level 4 Expert.

Source basis: Tewarson (2002), Table 3-4.30 on p. 3-148 and Table 3-4.31 on p. 3-149; values calculated with a water application efficiency of one and no puddle
Alt text: Bar chart: for five plastics the critical water rate is 2 to 5 g per square metre per second, the rate for large fires 22 to 34.
