On the calibration of laser-cone calorimeters
Journal of Physics E: Scientific Instruments, 1968A method is described which allows the experimental determination of the heat capacity of laser-cone calorimeters. The method includes the usual calibration with a current pulse applied to the cone's heating coil, and a second calibration with d.c. current.

A cone calorimeter for controlled‐atmosphere studies
Fire and Materials, 1992AbstractMany fires occur in ambient atmospheric conditions. To investigate certain types of fires, however, it is necessary to consider combustion where the oxidizer is not 21% oxygen/79% nitrogen. The Cone Calorimeter (ASTM E 1354, ISO DIS 5660) has recently become the tool of choice for studying the fire properties of products and materials.

Cellular Polymers, 1993
This paper describes a series of small experimental programmes to investigate the use of the cone calorimeter with different materials. The difficulties of testing materials which swell or shrink significantly when heated and the nature of the cone calorimeter fire model were also investigated.

Development of a controlled-atmosphere cone calorimeter
Fire and Materials, 2000A controlled-atmosphere cone calorimeter has been developed that overcomes many of the shortcomings of previously developed units. The new apparatus is a fully sealed 'blow-through' system, which provides a full-size chamber in which the combustion process can occur.

Cone calorimeter ? an alternative calibration constant calculation
Fire and Materials, 2000This paper focuses on an alternative method of calculating the calibration constant, C, used in the cone calorimeter. The alternative method is derived from the principles of thermochemistry. It is based on carbon dioxide measurements and implicit knowledge of water vapour and fuel mass loss and is independent of the oxygen concentration.

Spectral responses of laser cone calorimeters
Journal of Physics E: Scientific Instruments, 1972For a polished nickel plated cone of angle 15 degrees , calculation suggests an optical absorption (response) which, normalized to unity at wavelength 0.4 mu m, falls to 0.99 at 0.7 mu m, 0.95 at 1.5 mu m, 0.90 at 1.9 mu m, and 0.85 at 2.3 mu m. Experimental comparison of the readings of such a cone calorimeter with those of a black detector, using ...

BDMC interlaboratory cone calorimeter test programme
Fire and Materials, 2002AbstractIn the spring of 1997, seven companies and industry associations from the USA and Canada decided to sponsor the cone calorimeter interlaboratory test programme. Reproducibility and repeatability were determined for the scalar variables measured in the cone calorimeter (ASTM E1354) according to the protocol developed by the Board for the ...

Controlled-atmosphere cone calorimeter studies of silicones
Fire and Materials, 1997A controlled-atmosphere cone calorimeter was used to investigate the burning of a silicone fluid and two silicone elastomers. The silicone materials were tested at 50 kW/m2 incident heat flux in environments containing 15–30% oxygen. The test results were compared with a high molecular weight hydrocarbon fluid and an ethylene propylene rubber in terms ...
