Uses of the Cone Calorimeter

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, 2000
A 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, 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.

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 ...

BDMC interlaboratory cone calorimeter test programme

Fire and Materials, 2002
AbstractIn 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, 1997
A 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 ...

Convection heat transfer in the cone calorimeter

Fire Safety Journal, 2009
Abstract Estimates of the convection heat transfer coefficient (HTC) in the cone calorimeter are obtained from a near-steady-state analysis of the temperature histories of horizontal coated steel plates. Corrections are applied to the derived HTC values to account for changes of the surface emissivity as a function of temperature.

Calibration of flow rate in cone calorimeter tests

Fire and Materials, 2013
ABSTRACTThe cone calorimeter is one of the major fire tests. The measurement method is based on the evaluation of mass flow and oxygen concentration of fire effluents to calculate heat release rate. Different studies highlighted that the governing parameter for uncertainty at important values of heat release rate was the characteristic constant of an ...
