Jet fire information


Jet fires are high temperature flames of burning fuel released in a particular orientation and under pressure. The material burned is a continuous stream of flammable gas, liquid or a two-phase mixture. Jet fires are a significant hazard in process and storage plant handling or storing flammable fluids under pressure, as the heat flux of the jet flame can cause rapid mechanical failure thereby compromising structural integrity and leading to incident escalation.
