What is the term for the arrangement of overlapping strips of non-flammable brattice cloth used in mines?

The term used for the arrangement of overlapping strips of non-flammable brattice cloth in mines is "Curtain." In the context of mine ventilation, curtains are strategically placed to direct airflow and manage the movement of air within the mine. They serve to control the paths of air to ensure that fresh air reaches working areas while helping to dilute and remove harmful gases and dust.

Brattice cloth itself refers to the material used in constructing these curtains, which is specifically designed to withstand the mine's environment while providing effective ventilation controls. In contrast, "stopping" refers to a solid barrier constructed to separate air courses in a mine and prevent airflow between them, while "ventilation" is a broader term that encompasses all methods and equipment used to manage air quality and circulation in mines. Understanding the specific role of curtains is essential for effective mine safety and ventilation management.
