Fire Research Division

Fire Metrology Group

---

The Fire Metrology Group applies measurement science in the development a nd quantification of new and existing methods for studying fire growth, fire induced flows, flame radiation, smoke formation and dynamics, species production, heat transfer, and fire suppression. It conducts long term basic research to develop new measurement paradigms and responds to short term challenges to address needs identified by other groups within the division. The group serves as division resource for quantification of measurement uncertainty, development of calibration standards, and best practices documents. The group also manages the NIST Large Fire Facility where advanced field scale diagnostics, real time data output, and quantified measurements are employed to validate models for fire growth, smoke dynamics, and suppression.
