Labs

Rolf Jensen & Associates Fire Science Laboratory

Fire Science Laboratory sponsored by Jensen Hughes

This is a medium scale fire testing facility that can accommodate up to 1 MW fires. It is used for research and teaching purposes.

EBL Lab

EBL Fire Engineering Lab

This facility is used to conduct research on material flammability. Ignitability, burning intensity, flame spread dynamics, and smoldering propensity can be characterized using instrumentation housed in this laboratory.

Fire and Life Safety America Laboratory

Fire and Life Safety America Laboratory

This facility is used to conduct research on pyrolysis of combustible solids and flame – solid fuel interactions. It also is used to develop gas-fueled flames that emulate the burning of condensed fuels.

Salt Water Tank

FM Global Fire Phenomenon Laboratory

This facility houses equipment for salt-water modeling of fire induced flows and instrumentation used to measure soot oxidation rates in laminar diffusion flames (including soot pyrometry, laser extinction, and thermophoretic soot sampling followed by transmission electron microscopy).

The James and Pamela Boyer Laboratory

James and Pamela Boyer Laboratory

This is a multi-purpose laboratory, which is currently used for testing of efficacy of fire suppressing clean agents.

Koffel Associates Fire Standards Laboratory

Koffel Associates Fire Standards Laboratory

This facility houses a number of standard flammability assessment methods. It is used as a teaching laboratory for undergraduate and graduate fire dynamics classes.

The Dr. Harry E. Hickey Fire Suppression Laboratory sponsored by Jensen Hughes

This facility is used for characterization of fire sprinkler spays.

UL Lab and student

UL Fire Modeling Laboratory

This computer laboratory is equipped with 12 Windows and 1 Linux workstation, and is available to FPE students for class and research projects. Additional computational resources are available at campus level through the Zaratan cluster. The Zaratan cluster is a 3.5-PetaFlops machine equipped with 46,080 CPUs, an InfiniBand network and a 12-PetaByte storage system.
