Foreword
This standard is developed in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This standard is modified in relation to GB 18428-2010 Glass bulbs used for automatic fire extinguishing systems.
The following main changes have been made with respect to GB 18428-2010:
——The nominal action temperature of glass bulb is different, which is 110°C in this standard according to the operating temperature of pressure relief devices of gas cylinders;
——The definitions and test-related requirements of fast response glass bulb and standard response glass bulb are deleted;
——The light fading test and the working solution volatilization test are deleted.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. The issuing body of this document shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document was proposed by and is under the jurisdiction of the Cylinder Safety Standardization and Information Working Committee of China Association for Technical Supervision Information.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 13005 and the following apply.
3.1
static operating temperature
temperature when the glass bulb cylinder breaks in the liquid bath at certain heating rate (°C)
3.2
nominal action temperature
designed operating temperature of glass bulb (°C)
3.3
response time index (RTI)
coefficient which is determined under standard conditions and used for measuring the sensitivity of glass bulb
Expression: RTI = u0.5
where,
RTI——the response time index, (m•s)0.5;
——the response time constant, s;
u——the gas velocity, m/s.
