Abstract

1380420 Minimising fires in tanks DEFENCE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR 14 March 1972 [15 March 1971] 6862/71 Addition to 1341693 Heading A5A In a modification of the invention of Specification 1341693 a closeable container includes therein a plurality of openly reticulated foam pieces of 15-25 pores per linear inch, there being left externally of and between the pieces and within the container a free volume constituting more than 50% of the interior volume of the container, whereby in the event of fire within the container an unacceptable pressure rise is prevented. The foam pieces may be balls of foam, in particular hollow balls comprising a foam layer surrounding a hollow interior. The polyurethane foam of the parent Specification may be used. The pieces may be retained adjacent the inner side walls of the container in support netting. The container may also have a layer of openly reticulated foam covering at least part of its external surface. The container is particularly an aircraft fuel tank.
