Minimum Distance calculator

The Minimum Distance calculator (MDc) is an AS3959-2018 Method 2 (Appendix B) based calculator which will determine the minimum distances required to achieve a range of different radiant heat levels (represented by BAL's). The MDc allows for all basic and advanced inputs to be modified as required.

Radiant Heat Barrier calculator

The Radiant Heat Barrier calculator (RHBc) is an AS3959-2018 Method 2 (Appendix B) based calculator which will determine an exposure level and BAL when there is a radiant heat barrier (fence, other building etc) between the threat and asset. The RHBc allows for all basic and advanced inputs to be modified as required.
