Introduction

Heat release is the core measurement parameter for assessing material and product fire characteristics. The cone calorimeter meets all existing standards (including ISO 5660. ASTM E 1354. ASTM E 1474. ASTM E 1740. ASTM F 1550. ASTM D 6113. NFPA 264. CAN ULC 135 and BS 476. part 15), and also can be purchased in the form of parts, so that the laboratory needs to operate specific tests, such as heat release, loss of quality, smoke generation, etc. You can buy the required parts at first, and then gradually add other instruments to the same test chamber to become a complete set of instrument. This flexible feature is one of the many advantages of the cone calorimeter.

The test theory of the cone calorimeter is based on the fact that the amount of pure combustion calories are proportional to the amount of oxygen burned. Combustion of each 1kg of oxygen will produce 13.1MJ / kg of gas. Parameters such as the heat emissions, ignition time, oxygen consumption rate, production rate of CO and CO2. gas flow, will be measured.

Cone calorimeter is widely used to measure the heat release rate in material combustion process accurately, to evaluate the combustion performance of the material and to measure the core parameters of the product in the fire. It plays a very important role in predicting the fire hazard and its flame prevention and control.

1. 19" standard cabinet integrated design, nice, easy to operate.

2. cone heater - in the truncated cone, 230V, 5000W, heat output is 0 ~ 120 kW / m2.

3. 19 "touch screen computer to control the entire test process.

4. automatic ignition system, automatic measurement of burning time.

5. 3 K-type thermocouples and PID temperature controller to control the temperature in 3 periods.

6. automatic split gate -protect the sample area before the test to ensure the initial quality measurement is stable. The operator can have extra time to run system testing before the start of the test. For flammable samples, if there is no opening and closing mechanism, it is easy to burn at earlier time. This extra time is very important to the operator.

7.  sample holder - sample size 100mm x 100mm, thickness of no more than 50mm.
