Excerpt from Relative Hazards of Nitrates and Chlorates: A Thesis Presented by Charles Harry Arnold to the President and Faculty of Armour Institute of Technology for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Fire Protection Engineering, 1913 The hazard of some of the common nitrate and chlorates has been recognized, but encounters with some less well known salts, has brought up the question of their fire hazard. Inquiry then showed that we really had no data on any of the salts by which a comparison of hazards could be drawn. The problem therefore was devise a set of tests by means of which the relative hazards of the nitrates and chlorates most likely to be encountered in commerce could be judged. To W. H. Merril, manager of The Underwriter Laboratories we are indebted for the use of the equipment of the Laboratories. We are under obligations to Mr. Stewart. For the kind donation of several of the costly salts. To the N. F. P. A. we are in debted for reports on fires chargable to nitrates and chlorates. With the excellent assistance of Mr. A. H. Nuckolls, Chief Chemical Engineer of The Underwriter Laboratories we were able to make a scientific investigation. With the verified facts and Mr. Nuckoll careful supervision we finally arrived at the conclusions as stated.
