摘要: A second series of fire tests utilizing the American Standard for Testing Materials (ASTM) F-20 draft, Standard Guide for In-Situ Burning of Oil Spills on Water: Fire-Resistant Containment Boom, as a guideline were conducted in a wave tank at the U.S. Coast Guard Fire and Safety Test Detachment in Mobile, Alabama, during August-September 1998. The test series used six different fire-resistant oil spill containment booms, including two water-cooled designs. Three of the booms used in the evaluation were modified designs of booms used in the first series conducted in 1997. A 15-meter section of each boom was formed in a circle and subjected to a diesel fuel fire, for up to three hours, while waves were produced. Testing issues, such as the boom constraint system, the location of the heat flux gauges and thermocouples, and special procedures for water-cooled booms, were addressed. The results of the second test series are presented, and the strengths and weaknesses of the protocol are discussed, along with areas for possible improvement.
