"Fire Research Publications, 1984" is a supplement to previous

editions; the last five editions are referenced below. Earlier

edition information is available upon request.

In a departure from our usual practice of citing only publications

prepared by the Center for Fire Research (CFR) staff, by other

National Bureau of Standards (MBS) personnel for CFR, or by

external laboratories under contract or grant from the CFR, we

are pleased to include the papers presented at the Howard Emmons'

Conference, "Fire Science for Fire Safety". The Center for Fire

Research devoted its 1983 Annual Conference to invited papers on

subject areas that have been significantly influenced by

Professor Emmons and his students. The Conference was held at the

National Bureau of Standards in Gaithersburg, MD, August 23-25,

1983. Selected papers have been published in a special issue of

Combustion Science and Technology, Vol. 39-40, 1984 and are cited

herein

For documents that are available for purchase from either the

Government Printing Office (GPO) or the National Technical

Information Service (NTIS) , the specific order number has been

included in the citation.

GPO documents are obtained by writing directly to the

Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office,

Washington, DC 20402. Orders must be prepaid. Remittance should

be made by check or money order payable to the "Superintendent of

Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office".

NTIS documents are obtained by writing directly to the National

Technical Information Service, Springfield, VA 22161. Indicate

the NTIS Order No. for each document requested. Microfiche copies

of the documents also are available at a cost of $4.50 for

domestic orders. ALL PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. However, for

your convenience, a partial price list is provided below. Orders

must be prepaid by check or money order payable to "National

Technical Information Service" or by utilizing your NTIS deposit

account

11. ABSTRACT (A 200-word or less factual summary of most significant information. If document includes a significant

bi bl iography or literature survey, mention it here) Fire Research Publications, 1984 is a supplement to previous editions; the last five

editions are referenced below. Information about earlier editions is available upon

1979 NBSIR 80-2114 PB80-103335

1980 NBSIR 81-2272 PB81-203317

1983 NBSIR 84-2871 PB84-217 066

In a departure from our usual practice of citing only publications prepared by the

Center for Fire Research (CFR) staff, by other National Bureau of Standards (NBF

personnel for CFR, or by external laboratories under contract or grant from the CFR, we are pleased to include the papers presented at the Howard Emmons' Conference, Fire

Science fcr Safety. The CFR devoted its 1983 Annual Conference to invited papers on subject areas that have been significantly influenced by Professor Emmons and his

students. The Conference was held at NBS in Gaithersburg, MD, August 23-24, 1983 . Selected papers have been published in a special issue of Combustion Science and

Technology, Vol. 39-40, 1984 and are cited herein.
