The Cone Calorimeter

2016
Chapter 27 describes the history and development of techniques for measuring heat release rate (HRR). This chapter outlines features and details of today’s preferred instrument for measuring bench-scale HRR—the cone calorimeter.

Effect of fire-retardant coating on bamboo and banana-based biocomposites: A comparative study thermogravimetric analysis and cone calorimeter tests

Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials, 2023
In this work, a thermal behaviour comparison of a new bamboo-based and banana-based Green Bio-Composites (GBC) is conducted using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and cone-calorimeter experiments. An Intumescent Fire-Retardant (IFR) coating (a mixture of

PVC Cable Fire Toxicity Using the Cone Calorimeter

2016
Electrical cables with PVC sheaths were investigated for their ignition characteristics, heat release and toxic yields using the cone calorimeter. 40 KW/m2 was required to get a significant heat release for PVC. A heated Temet Gasmet FTIR was used for the toxic gas analysis.

Cone Calorimeter—A Cautionary Tale

Journal of ASTM International, 2009
Abstract Taking the fire regulations, test methods, and criteria used in one country and adopting them in another without looking at potential effects may have serious consequences. The basis of the reaction to fire classification of products for the Taiwanese market is to be amended.

Ignitability measurements with the cone calorimeter

Fire and Materials, 1987
AbstractThe Cone Calorimeter is a new‐generation instrument developed primarily for making rate of heat release measurements. This instrument, containing a uniform and well‐characterized irradiance source, was also seen to be useful for making measurements of radiant ignition on materials.

Experimental determination of the evolution of the incident heat flux received by a combustible during a cone calorimeter test: Influence of the flame irradiance

Journal of fire sciences, 2020
The decomposition kinetic of polymeric materials in a cone calorimeter strongly depends on the irradiance level imposed at the sample’s surface. Indeed, even if the irradiance level is supposed to be kept constant during cone calorimeter test, the amount

On the calibration of laser-cone calorimeters

Journal of Physics E: Scientific Instruments, 1968
A 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, 1992
AbstractMany 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.
