Thin Filament Pyrometry Field Measurements in a Medium-Scale Pool Fire.

September 13, 2019
Author(s)
Zhigang Wang, Andy Tam, Jian Chen, Ki Y. Lee, Anthony Hamins
This paper presents the development of a thin filament pyrometry method to characterize the time- varying temperature field in a medium-scale pool fire in a quiescent environment. A digital camera with optical filters and zoom lens was used to record the

Energy Balance in Medium-Scale Methanol, Ethanol, and Acetone Pool Fires

July 1, 2019
Author(s)
Sung C. Kim, Ki Y. Lee, Anthony Hamins
Several series of measurements were made to characterize medium-scale pool fires steadily burning in a well-ventilated, quiescent, open environment. Time-averaged local measurements of radiative and total heat flux were made in steadily burning methyl

Development of a Detection Algorithm for Kitchen Cooktop Ignition Prevention

September 30, 2018
Author(s)
Amy Mensch, Anthony Hamins, Kathryn Markell
A small number of previous studies focused on cooktop fire sources and considered multi-detector sensing of pre-ignition signatures in a kitchen environment. Johnsson conducted a series of experiments investigating the feasibility of distinguishing between

Investigation of Residential Cooktop Ignition Prevention Technologies

May 31, 2018
Author(s)
Sung Chan Kim, Anthony Hamins, Matthew Bundy
Several international standards and regulations regarding residential cooktop ignition prevention have existed for as long as a decade. A series of cooking experiments were conducted by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to examine the

Characterization of Stove Top Cooking Oil Fires

March 12, 2018
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Sung C. Kim, Daniel Madrzykowski
A series of cooking fire experiments were conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to examine the hazard associated with cooking oil fires. First, a series of experiments were conducted on a free-standing stove situated in the

Investigation of Residential Cooking Fire Suppression Technologies

February 12, 2018
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Daniel Madrzykowski, Sung C. Kim, Jonathan Kent
A wide range of cooking fire experiments were conducted to examine the effectiveness of retrofit residential kitchen fire suppression systems. A series of experiments provided data on the hazard associated with cooking oil fires. Then, a series of real

Energetics of Small and Moderate-Scale Gaseous Pool Fires

November 1, 2016
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins
A series of measurements were made to characterize the global properties of moderate-sized pool fires steadily burning in a quiescent environment. A wide range of parameters were considered including lightly and heavily sooting hydrocarbon fuels (methane

The Structure of a Moderate-Scale Methanol Pool Fire

November 1, 2016
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Andrew Lock
A series of measurements was made to characterize the structure of a moderate-sized methanol pool fire steadily burning in a quiescent environment. Time averaged local measurements of temperature and gas species concentrations were made in a steadily

International R&D Roadmap for Fire Resistance of Structures Summary of NIST/CIB Workshop

June 11, 2015
Author(s)
Jiann C. Yang, Matthew F. Bundy, John L. Gross, Anthony P. Hamins, Fahim Sadek, Anand Raghunathan
This report summarizes the results of the global meeting to develop the International R&D Roadmap for Fire Resistance of Structures (the Roadmap) held May 21–22, 2014, in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The workshop was sponsored by the National Institute of
