Introduction:

• The CCT Cone Calorimeter is designed and manufactured according to international standards and mainly for building products and electric cable testing.

• The analysis cabinet can be moved, it can be used for cone calorimeter test, and can also be used in the large heat release rate test system such as Single Burning Item(SBI), cable burning test system, etc.

Measured Properties by CCT Cone Calorimeter:

• Heat release rate
• Time to ignition
• Mass loss rate
• Smoke release rate
• Effective heat of combustion
• Rates of release of combustion gas (e.g. carbon oxides)

Standards of CCT Cone Calorimeter:

• Furniture (ASTM E1474)
• Wall lining materials (ASTM E1740)
• Prison mattresses (ASTM F1550)
• Electric cables (ASTM D6113)
• Railway rolling-stock applications (EN 45545-2)
• Maritime applications (IMO)
• ISO5660

Features of CCT Cone Calorimeter:

• Integrated body and 19” analysis rack, 15” touch screen panel type PC for the whole control and automatic testing.

• Auto Split Shutter automatically opened to transmit radiation to the sample, Automatic Spark Igniter to facilitate measurement of ignition time.

• Load Cell -mass measurements are conducted via a strain gauge load cell with an accuracy of 0.1g. Fitted with a quick electronic tare facility and mechanical stops to avoid movement damage, give stable results and long life.

• Exhaust System - manufactured from stainless steel for long life. This comprises, hood, gas sampling ring probe, exhaust fan (with adjustable flow controls from 0-50g/s, at a resolution of at least 0.1g/s) and an orifice plate flow measurement (thermocouple and differential pressure transducer). Normal operation is at a nominal 24 l/s.

• ABB Gas feed unit, Model SCC-S, including 1 gas path, condensate monitor, pump and flow controller with needle valve Peltier cooler and condensate pump. SCC-S can remove water automatically.

• ABB EL3020-Uras26+ Magnos206, CO 0-1%, CO2 0-10%, automatic calibration of CO & CO2, does not require the use of mixture of CO&CO2 gas. O2 0-25%, Only once a month is used to calibrate the zero point with the nitrogen,

• Smoke Obscuration - measured with a laser system, using photodiodes, and a 0.5 mW Helium Neon laser, with main and reference (compensating) photo detectors. Supplied with alignment cradle and 0.3, 0.8 neutral density filters for calibration.

• Medtherm Heat Flux Meter - for setting the irradiance level at the surface of the specimens, the range from 0-100KW/m2.

• Calibration Burner - to calibrate the rate of heat release measured by the apparatus using methane of 99.5% purity.

• Methane MFC, to control the flow rate of Methane automatically

• OMRON PLC to control all movement such as Split Shutter, Spark Igniter etc.

• Provide the Self circulation cooling water to cool heat flux meter, without External tap water.

• DAQ(Data Acquisition) Program controllable with the touch screen panel PC.

• This Cone Calorimeter is provided with 10units of PMMA samples for comparison testing.
