6/1/2002 - Conference papersAn evaluation of multiple mine fire sensor types for nuisance alarm discrimination. The response of multiple fire sensor types to three small coal fires and three small conveyor belt fires in the presence of diesel emissions was evaluated.
-
4/1/2000 - Conference papersReport on the application of a neural-network program using mine sensor data to classify the type of fire.
-
1/1/2000 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH has devised a passive means to detect overheating insulators on direct current systems.
-
10/1/1999 - Conference papersA series of four coal combustion experiments was conducted at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Pittsburgh Research Laboratory in the Safety Research Coal Mine to evaluate the response of optical and ionization smoke and CO sens...

8/1/1998 - Technology NewsNIOSH designed a passive device to detect overheating insulators on mine trolley/track haulageways.
-
8/1/1998 - Conference papersSeveral experimental programs were conducted at the Pittsburgh Research Center to investigate the level of mine fire detection and alarm capability possible using state-of-the-art technology.
-
6/1/1998 - Conference papersThere has been some improvement in overall mine fire preparedness. However, little data has been gathered on a site-by-site basis to determine what improvements might be made on a local level.
-
2/1/1997 - Conference papersReport on a series of diesel fuel fire experiments were conducted in the Pittsburgh Research Center's Safety Research Coal mine (SRCM) to determine products-of-combustion (POC) spread rates along a single entry under zero imposed airflow conditions.
-
1/1/1992 - Information CircularsAn report on the evaluation of smoke detectors placed in conveyor belt entries of underground coal mines. Recommendations for performance standards, sensitivity tests, detector classification and maintenance are also presented.
