9、2ISO 16737:2012(E)ForewordISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subj
10、ect for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IE
11、C) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committee
12、s are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be hel
13、d responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.ISO 16737 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 92, Fire safety, Subcommittee SC 4, Fire safety engineering.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 16737:2006), which has been technically revised.iv ISO 2012 All
14、 rights reservedBS ISO 16737:2012ISO 16737:2012(E)IntroductionThis International Standard is intended to be used by fire safety practitioners who employ fire safety engineering calculation methods. Examples include fire safety engineers; authorities having jurisdiction, such as territorial authority
15、 officials; fire service personnel; code enforcers; and code developers. It is expected that users of this International Standard are appropriately qualified and competent in the field of fire safety engineering. It is particularly important that users understand the parameters within which particul
16、ar methodologies may be used.Algebraic formulas conforming to the requirements of this International Standard are used with other engineering calculation methods during fire safety design. Such design is preceded by the establishment of a context, including the fire safety goals and objectives to be
17、 met, as well as performance criteria when a tentative fire safety design is subject to specified design fire scenarios. Engineering calculation methods are used to determine if these performance criteria will be met by a particular design and if not, how the design must be modified.The subjects of
18、engineering calculations include the fire-safe design of entirely new built environments, such as buildings, ships or vehicles as well as the assessment of the fire safety of existing built environments.The algebraic formulas discussed in this International Standard are very useful for quantifying t
19、he consequences of design fire scenarios. Such formulas are particularly valuable for allowing the practitioner to determine very quickly how a tentative fire safety design should be modified to meet performance criteria, without having to spend time on detailed numerical calculations until the stag
20、e of final design documentation. Examples of areas where algebraic formulas have been applicable include determination of heat transfer, both convective and radiant, from fire plumes, prediction of ceiling jet flow properties governing detector response times, calculation of smoke transport through
21、vent openings and analysis of enclosure fire hazards such as smoke filling and flashover.The algebraic formulas discussed in this International Standard are essential for checking the results of comprehensive numerical models that calculate fire growth and its consequences.

23、ational Standard is an implementation of the general high-level requirements for the case of fire dynamics calculations involving sets of algebraic formulas.1.3 This International Standard is arranged in the form of a template, where specific information relevant to algebraic vent flow formulas is p

Currently, there are two informative annexes containing general
26、information on vent flows and specific algebraic formulas for practical engineering calculations.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

Pressure differences may also result from fire gas expansion, mechanical ventilation, wind or other forces acting on the enclosure boundaries and vents, but these forces are not addressed in this International Standard. Given a pressure difference across a vent and the temperatures of the enclosures that the vent connects, mass flow rate is calculated by using orifice flow theory.The properties of an enclosure, such as smoke layer interface height, temperature, an
