IMO MSC/Circ. 913

The IMO MSC/Circ. 913 fire test protocol requires the extinguishment of 1.0 megawatt and 6.0 megawatt Diesel spray fires within 5.0 minutes from ignition time. The spray fires are arranged under one nozzle, between two nozzles and under four nozzles. The manufacturer chooses his nozzles and selects the maximum possible nozzle spacing, selects the water mist system operating pressure, and sets the lower and upper limits of the nozzle distance to the fire source. The effectiveness of the water mist system is then determined by fire testing.
