A Study on a Modified Model for the Hold Time of a Clean Extinguishing Agent

When estimating the theoretical hold time of a Clean Extinguishing Agent (CEA), the hold time is predicted using a leakage exponent and leakage characteristics that are measured through an Enclosure Integrity Test (EIT). In particular, the leakage exponent <inline-formula><math xmlns="...
