FireProtection

Determining hold times for extinguishing gases

The BlowerDoor measurement plays a crucial role in fire protection, particularly for server rooms. It ensures that rooms are sufficiently airtight for special extinguishing gases to smother a fire. Using the Minneapolis BlowerDoor measurement system and FireProtection software, the retention time of extinguishing gases can be determined easily and accurately.

Protect your facilities with precision and speed

With FireProtection, quickly determine the hold time of extinguishing gases for fire protection.

With FireProtection software, the hold time of extinguishing gas can be determined easily and precisely from your airtightness measurements, as well as from the characteristics of the room tested, the extinguishing gas used, and the standard chosen.

Import your Tectite measurements, and you can immediately see whether they comply with the normative criteria.

The equivalent leakage area is calculated and used to calculate the retention time.

This second step, required by the standard, consists in taking new measurements with an added leakage representing approximately half the equivalent leakage area calculated from your first measurement. 

By importing this second measurement, Fireprotection tells you whether its results validate the calibration of your equipment.

This third and final measurement stage consists of measuring pressure differentials around the main leaks in the room under test. 

Fireprotection tells you whether these measurements comply with the standard, and takes them into account when calculating retention time.

At the end of your measurements, and depending on the characteristics of the room tested and the extinguishing gas used, Fireprotection simulates the evolution over time of the extinguishing gas in the room tested. 

It shows you whether or not the target hold time has been met, and provides a clear graphical representation.

Fireprotection adapts to your choice the language used both in its interface and in the report it generates. English, German and French are available.
