Abstract

The authors have investigated temperature distribution within aircraft-fuel fires involving JP-4 and 100/130-octane aviation gasoline. Data, based on a relatively simple test method, show where the hottest temperatures are encountered in fires typical of aircraft-fuel spill fires. Average flame temperatures of the two types of fuel are compared as well as temperatures at different levels in the test fires.
