Hydrostatic test

This test consists of pressurizing the component 5 times their rated capacity for a period not less than 5 seconds

Backdraft

An instantaneous smoke explosion that occurs when oxygen is introduced into an oxygen-depleted confined space

Flashover

Simultaneous ignition of all fuels in the room

Photoelectric smoke detector

smoke detector that uses a small light source, either an incandescent bulb or a light-emitting diode (LED), to detect smoke by shining light through the detector's chamber: smoke particles REFLECT the light into a light-sensitive device called a photocell

Ionization smoke detector

Type of smoke detector that uses a small amount of radioactive material to make the air within a sensing chamber conduct electricity. Contains a small amount of Americium 241
