The Large-Scale Fire-Test Facility at the National Bureau of Standards
A newly completed fire test facility at the Gaithersburg site of the National Bureau of Standards provides the capability of studying the fire endurance of columns, walls, and floor/ceiling assemblies; fire growth and control in rooms; fire spread and control in corridors; and smoke movement in buildings. The study of fire growth in a room is concentrated on the role of the furnishings as well as the interior finishing materials. A burn room is also available to examine the fire buildup process in a large item of furniture.
