ABSTRACT:
A method and kit of parts for testing heat detectors mounted at an elevated location above a ground surface using a supercorrosive metal alloy composition formulated to react exothermically but non-flammably upon being wetted for sustaining temperatures of about 195 degrees Fahrenheit, permitting testing of heat detectors rated at 175 to 195 degrees F. The composition is formed into convenient wafers which are elevated on an extension pole into proximity to the heat detector by an operator standing on the ground. The wafers may be activated by wetting with a disposable plastic syringe, and may be reheated several times.
