Fire Hazards of Dry Versus Watered Christmas Trees

December 15, 2020
Author(s)
Matthew S. Hoehler, Matthew F. Bundy, Laurean A. DeLauter, Robin L. Materese, Leon Gerskovic, Jose R. Garcia
These experiments were designed to examine the difference in fire hazard between a dry Christmas tree and a watered Christmas tree for fire safety awareness. One dry tree (no water after harvesting) and one watered tree was tested with no replicates. The

In-Situ Burning in the Marshland Environment-Soil Temperatures. Volume 2 (NIST SP 995)

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
Nelson P. Bryner, William D. Walton, Laurean A. DeLauter, W H. Twilley, I. A. Mendelssohn, Q. Lin
A series of burns was conducted to evaluate the impact of intentional burning of an oil spill in a marshland environment. Oil spilled in sensitive wetland environments pose unique problems associated with cleanup because mechanical recovery in wetlands may

Response of Portable Particulate Monitoring Instruments to Combustion Particulates, Road Dust, and Salt Aerosols. Volume 2 (NIST SP 995)

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
Nelson P. Bryner, William D. Walton, Laurean A. DeLauter, W H. Twilley, J. V. Mullin
This study examined the response of several particulate monitoring instruments to aerosols which might be encountered during monitoring of an in situ oil spill burn. Aerosols included road dust, salt, and particulates from the combustion of heptane, diesel

Second Phase Evaluation of a Protocol for Testing Fire-Resistant Oil Spill Containment Boom. Volume 2 (NIST SP 995)

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
William D. Walton, W H. Twilley, Nelson P. Bryner, Laurean A. DeLauter, R. R. Hiltabrand, J. V. Mullin
A second series of fire tests utilizing the ASTM F-20 draft, Standard Guide for In Situ Burning of Oil Spills On Water: Fire-Resistant Containment Boom, as a guideline were conducted in a wave tank at the U.S. Coast Guard Fire and Safety Test Detachment in

Fire Tests of Men's Suits on Racks. Report of Test (FR 4013)

December 15, 2001
Author(s)
D W. Stroup, Laurean A. DeLauter, J Lee, G Roadarmel
A series of fire tests were conducted to characterize the potential hazard from ignition of men's suits hanging on racks. The fire test scenario was selected as part of a fire investigation being conducted by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Bureau of

Passenger Minivan Fire Tests. REPORT OF TEST FR 4012

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
D W. Stroup, Laurean A. DeLauter, James J. Lee, G Roadarmel
Two fire tests were conducted using a passenger minivan. The fire test scenarios were selected as part of a fire investigation being conducted by the U.S. Department of Treasury s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. Heat release rate was determined

Scotch Pine Christmas Tree Fire Tests. REPORT OF TEST FR 4010

December 1, 1999
Author(s)
D W. Stroup, Laurean A. DeLauter, Jack C. Lee, G Roadarmel
A series of fire tests were conducted to characterize the potential hazard from ignition of Scotch Pine Christmas trees. Heat release rate was measured as a function of time from ignition using a large calorimeter. In addition, radiative flux and total
