A well equipped modern Fire Engineering Laboratory facility comprising of fire equipment used by experienced academics available for research, teaching and training.
The laboratory work is broadly based to develop an understanding of the how a material behaves in a fire situation, which is a crucial step in reducing the horrifying losses caused by a fire. The Fire, Oil & Gas Laboratory includes specialist facilities for both fire safety engineering and fire chemistry in teaching and research.
The laboratory is fully equipped for a range of small to intermediate scale fire tests, backed by state of the art analytical and material characterisation facilities. A number of experiments ranging from investigation of fire retardants to the combustion properties of materials can be undertaken in the Fire, Oil & Gas Laboratory to allow the students to gain hands-on experience of British and European Standard test methods during a structured series of practical laboratory sessions.
