Symposium on Advances in the State of the Art of Fire Testing

Dec 11, 2008 - Dec 11, 2008,
Fontainebleau Hotel Miami Beach, Florida United States

The early origins of fire testing resulted in many unique, one-of-a-kind tests whose repeatability and reproducibility were unknown or debatable. Fire testing technology has evolved to the point at which tests carried out at different laboratories are producing more reproducible results, but questions about reproducibility still remain for many test methods. As fire protection engineering advances from prescriptive requirements to performance based needs, the body of "standard" fire tests will be required to adapt to ever increasing demands in which fundamental principles are applied to improve test performance and extend test results beyond simple empirical fire simulations. This symposium will bring together experts in the fields of materials sciences, fire science and engineering, and research and development.

Advances in new technologies and materials, and how they will be incorporated into fire testing, are addressed in this symposium including:

Materials Technology: New materials will require modifications to existing standard fire test procedures to address the unique performance characteristics
Test Procedures: Improvements in the calibration, control, and conduct of standard fire tests will impact material performance and increase the test data quality. New techniques and instrumentation for measuring physical parameters to provide new or expanded information from standard fire tests.
Equipment: Discuss advances in test equipment and their positive impact on improving test method repeatability and reproducibility and providing more meaningful test results.
Materials Properties: Improvements in measurement accuracy will increase the quality of data input into fire models and fire hazard analyses.
Case Studies: Unique standard fire test method uses for evaluating material fire performance will be presented.
Fire Test Data Usage: The role of standard fire test methods in determining meaningful material fire performance properties and application in analytical models.
