TL;DR: A model is described for use in translating measured heat flux to predict second and third degree hand burn injury in fire exposures to facilitate more accurate prediction of burns to human hands by accounting for the cylindrical geometry of the fingers, bone tissue beneath the skin, and different skin thickness data that represents the different areas of the hand.
