The Cone Calorimeter In Fire Testing

The cone calorimeter is considered the most significant bench scale instrument in fire testing. This apparatus has been adopted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 5660-1) for measuring heat release rate (HRR) of a sample.






It has been shown that most fuels generate approximately 13.1 MJ of energy per kg of oxygen consumed. Therefore, HRR is based on the fact that the oxygen consumed during combustion is proportional to the heat released.



 This cone calorimeter analyses the combustion gases and measures the produced smoke from a test specimen that is being exposed to a certain heat flux. At least the oxygen concentration must be analyzed to calculate the released heat, but to improve the accuracy, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide concentrations can also be analyzed.


The cone calorimeter is a fire testing device based on the principle of oxygen consumption during combustion. This device is used by most leading fire research groups as a data source for properties of materials and as a source for input data to models when predicting fire behaviour. The cone calorimeter is considered the most significant bench scale instrument in fire testing .

How To Process The Elmendorf Tear Strength Test

The Elmendorf tear tester has been developed specially for the paper industry and is outstanding for simplicity of operation and high measurement accuracy. The exchangeable pendulum is equipped with a pneumatic sample clamp. The initiation and return of the pendulum, as well as sample cutting is completely automatic. The device is operated via an integrated touch screen, where the test method can be selected, specific settings can be adjusted, and, after the measurement, results and statistics can be  displayed.Each pendulum is supplied with the appropriate control weight so that, with the help of the service program, it can easily be checked for functionality and balance. The Elmendorf tear test Procedure:     Cotton fabric was taken.     Warp and weft direction of the fabric was identified.     Two strips were cut from the fabric in both directions having dimensions of 100 x 63.5 mm.     The sample was then fixed in the jaws of the ...

Correct Use Of Color Assessment Cabinet

Observation Angle: The following points are all the facilities required for the Color Assessment Cabinet , and the viewing Angle will directly affect the evaluation results. According to international standards, there are only two observable angles that can be used. They are: A, zero light source and 45 degrees observation (0 °, 45 °), the light from zero (vertical) incident Angle on the sample, sample watchers from 45 degrees. B, light source and 45 ° inclined channel 45 degrees of light source, zero observation (0 °, 45 °), the layout must use specific 45 degrees of inclined (45 ° Fixed Angle table) making from 45 degrees of light source on the samples, sample watchers from zero (vertical). The location of the 45 ° light samples: Regardless of any of the above observation methods, it is important to note that the test sample is placed in the middle of the light box as far as possible to reduce the influence of the external light source. In addition, the most important thing...
