Testing of Mattress Composites in the Cone Calorimeter
Fire and Materials, 1997An investigation of cone calorimeter test procedures was performed using two types of mattress composites with various specimen preparations and equipment configurations. The objective was to discover suitable procedures for testing mattress composites. Concurrent with this work a much larger and more sophisticated project known as CBUF was underway in

Analysis of Polymers Using the Cone Calorimeter
1991The 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: Initial experiences of calibration and use
Fire Safety Journal, 1994Abstract The primary objectives after taking delivery of a cone calorimeter were to develop operator skills and to establish the reliability, accuracy and repeatability of the instrument. Since the instrument would be used with a wide range of plastics and rubber materials, for research and development of materials and additives, and also for routine

An accurate carbon cone calorimeter for pulsed lasers
Journal of Scientific Instruments, 1967The 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 ...

Investigation of polymeric materials using the cone calorimeter
Polymer Engineering & Science, 1993AbstractThe 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.
