Spectral responses of laser cone calorimeters

Journal of Physics E: Scientific Instruments, 1972
For 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 ...

Analysis of Polymers Using the Cone Calorimeter

1991
The use of polymeric materials in building or construction applications is steadily increasing. Therefore, the potential for these materials to be exposed to fire is also increased. The pyrolysis characteristics of these materials and the understanding of their pyrolysis characteristics is thus a necessity.

Cone calorimeter ? an alternative calibration constant calculation

Fire and Materials, 2000
This 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.

Investigation of polymeric materials using the cone calorimeter

Polymer Engineering & Science, 1993
AbstractThe use of polymeric materials in building or construction applications is steadily increasing. Therefore, the potential for these materials to be exposed to fire is also increased. The understanding of the pyrolysis characteristics of these materials is thus a necessity. There are many standard tests used to evaluate materials.

A reappraisal of convection heat transfer in the cone calorimeter

Fire Safety Journal, 2011
Abstract The problem of estimating the convection heat transfer coefficient (CHTC) in the Cone Calorimeter (horizontal sample orientation) is revisited. In this contribution the CHTC is modelled by a Nusselt number correlation of the form Nu=CRan, where Ra is the Rayleigh number.

An accurate carbon cone calorimeter for pulsed lasers

Journal of Scientific Instruments, 1967
The requirements for a laser calorimeter are discussed with reference to a particular thick walled carbon cone equipped with eight thermocouples and a resistance wire to discharge a known energy for calibration purposes. The main sources of error are: (i) incomplete absorption of the laser beam; (ii) the cooling error due to the finite time for ...
