The sample holder and enclosure are designed to contain the combustion process safely, with proper insulation to minimize heat loss and external interference.
  • The exterior casing is not only built for durability but also for operator safety. It features heat shields and ventilation ports that protect the user from excessive heat and fumes while allowing for proper air circulation within the testing chamber.
• Precision Instrumentation and Measurement Capabilities
  • Equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and a high-resolution data acquisition system, the Cone Calorimeter can accurately measure the heat release rate with remarkable precision. It also monitors other key parameters such as smoke production rate, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide emissions, and ignition time. The oxygen consumption principle is utilized, providing a reliable and accurate method for quantifying heat release.
  • The instrument panel is user-friendly, with a clear display and intuitive controls. Operators can easily set test parameters, start and stop tests, and access real-time and historical data. The data can be exported in various formats for further analysis and reporting, and the system can generate detailed graphs and charts that visually represent the combustion behavior of the tested material.
• Flexible and Adjustable Test Setup
  • The equipment offers a wide range of adjustable settings. The heat flux applied to the sample can be precisely controlled, allowing for the simulation of different fire intensities. The ventilation rate within the chamber can be adjusted, enabling the study of the impact of air supply on the combustion process. This flexibility makes it suitable for testing a diverse range of materials, from thin films and fabrics to thick composites and solid objects.
  • It can be configured to perform different test methods and standards, making it adaptable for both research and development purposes and compliance testing with international fire safety regulations.

3. Product Functions

• Accurate Heat Release Evaluation
  • The primary function of the Cone Calorimeter is to provide a detailed and accurate assessment of the heat release characteristics of materials. By measuring the heat release rate over time, it allows for the determination of the peak heat release rate, which is a critical factor in predicting the potential for fire growth and spread. A lower peak heat release rate indicates a material that is less likely to contribute to a rapid and intense fire.
  • The total heat release measurement provides information about the overall energy output of the material during combustion, which is useful for understanding the long-term fire behavior and the potential impact on the surrounding environment and adjacent structures.
• Fire Hazard Assessment and Classification
  • Based on the data obtained from the Cone Calorimeter tests, materials can be classified according to their fire hazard potential. This classification helps architects, engineers, and product designers select appropriate materials for different applications. For example, in high-rise buildings or areas with a high population density, materials with lower heat release and smoke production characteristics are preferred to minimize the risk of fire-related disasters.
  • The tester also provides insights into the combustion products, such as smoke and toxic gas emissions. This information is crucial for evaluating the potential health hazards associated with a fire and for designing effective smoke control and ventilation systems in buildings and vehicles.
• Research and Development Support
  • In the field of materials research and development, the Cone Calorimeter is an invaluable tool. It allows material scientists to study the effects of different additives, formulations, and manufacturing processes on the fire performance of materials. By comparing the heat release and other combustion characteristics of various prototypes, they can optimize the design and composition of materials to enhance their fire resistance.
  • For example, in the development of new flame-retardant polymers or composite materials, the Cone Calorimeter can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of different flame-retardant agents and to determine the optimal concentration and application method.
