Investigation of fire behavior of rigid polyurethane foams containing fly ash and intumescent flame retardant by using a cone calorimeter

open access: yes, 2011
Cone calorimeter is one of the most useful bench-scale equipment which can simulate real-world fire conditions. Therefore, cone calorimeter tests have been the most important and widely used tests for research and development of fire behavior of ...
