Data on Smoke Alarm Performance: A Compilation to NIST TN 1947

The data files are a compilation of experimental results referenced in NIST Technical Note 1947 and include tabulated summary smoke alarm response results for smoke box and room experiments and individual experiment data files containing smoke beam obscuration, MIC current, gas species concentration, temperature and relative humidity measurements as a function of time during each experiment. Descriptions of the file name structures, data file contents and uncertainty estimates for each reported measurand are provided on the data landing page.
