Heat release is a core measurement parameter when assessing the fire characteristics of materials and products. The cone calorimeter meets all existing standards (including ISO 5660, ASTM E1354, ASTM E 1474, ASTM E 1740, ASTM F 1550, ASTM D 6113, NFPA 264, CAN ULC 135, and Part 15 of BS 476), and can also be purchased in component form. This allows laboratories to initially buy specific components for tests such as heat release, mass loss, smoke generation, etc., and then gradually add other instruments to the same test chamber to create a fully-equipped apparatus. This flexibility is one of the many advantages of the cone calorimeter.
The testing theory of the cone calorimeter is based on the principle that the combustion calories are directly proportional to the oxygen consumed during combustion, with each kilogram of oxygen burned generating 13.1 MJ/kg of combustion gases. The thermal emission of the test gases, ignition time, oxygen consumption rate, CO and CO2 production rates, and the flow rate of the combustion gases will all be measured. Model: GD-5660
