Establishing the HOT Range

29.  Establishing the appropriate HOT time range will require the acquisition of at least the following information:

  • Choose the precipitation type;
     
  • Determine the precipitation rate; (for snow use the visibility table)
     
  • Note the fluid in use, including:
    1. Fluid Type; and
    2. Fluid manufacturer.
  • The fluid dilution must be determined; and
     
  • OAT must be noted.

Using this information, enter the appropriate HOT guideline and identify the HOT cell containing the full range of times available.
