The American Flame Research Committee (AFRC) is composed of representatives of industrial and research organizations and associated eminent combustion expert members in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The AFRC sponsors open forums in North America on applied combustion technology and research and supports the applied combustion research activities of the International Flame Research Foundation (IFRF). The IFRF is a worldwide network of industrial companies and academic institutes working to achieve cleaner and more efficient industrial combustion. The main task of the Foundation is thus the acquisition and generation of information with which to design flames for the efficient heating of industrial processes, with minimal environmental effects, and thereafter the design of combustion equipment to produce such flames.

The AFRC is a suborganization of the world wide International Flame Research Foundation (IFRF) AFRC membership information is available here.
