Fire Research Division

Fire Measurements Group

---

The Fire Measurements Group applies measurement science in the development and quantification of new and existing measurement methods for studying fire growth, fire induced flows, flame radiation, smoke formation and dynamics, species production, heat transfer, fire suppression, and fire detection.  The work includes long-term, basic research to develop new measurement techniques as well as short-term challenges to address needs identified by other groups within the division and the fire research community at large; serves as the division resource for quantification of measurement uncertainty, development of calibration standards, and best practices documents; manages the NIST Large Scale Fire Facility where advanced field scale diagnostics, real-time data analysis, and quantified measurements are employed to validate models for fire growth, smoke dynamics, and suppression.
