measure of the thermal sensitivity of a sprinkler or heat detector element, its time constant times the square root of gas velocity.

In fire safety engineering, response time index refers to measure of the thermal sensitivity of a sprinkler or heat detector element, its time constant times the square root of gas velocity. This meaning comes from Heskestad (1988) in Fire Safety Journal.[1]
