Zusammenfassung:As part of an ongoing effort to identify a replacement for the Department of Defense (DOD) Halon 1211 flightline extinguisher, the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) performed a series of tests to evaluate the performance of the Amerex Corporation model 775 wheeled extinguisher containing the Novec 1230 firefighting agent manufactured by 3M. This test series consisted of ten rear engine fire tests, ten access panel fire tests, and one stream reach test. Overall, the Amerex model 775 extinguisher demonstrated the ability to extinguish both three-dimensional and hidden fires and was shown to have a stream reach distance that exceeds throw range requirements established in an earlier joint Air Force-Navy project.
