2018 Compartment Fire Experimental Data

This release, from UL's Fire Safety Research Institute, contains data from compartment fire experiments that were conducted as part of a project that examined the use of fire dynamics analysis techniques with furniture-fueled fires. Information about the experiments and a Python script that generates charts of the experimental data are also included in this repository. The purpose of the experiments was to close the knowledge gap concerning the use of fire dynamics analysis techniques which were developed with, and/or validated with, gas burner or liquid fuel pool fires by examining the applicability of these tools when actual furniture items are burned. A sense of the uncertainties involved in both the measurements and the analytical models is provided. This project was supported by Award No. 2017-DN-BX-O163 (Examination of the Use of Fire Dynamics Analysis Techniques With Furniture Fueled Fires), awarded by the National Institute of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. The opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this publication/program/exhibition are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of the Department of Justice
