CONE CALORIC METRIC<br>It is what?<br>The thermal behaviour of tiny samples of materials in their condensed phase is measured using a cone calorimeter. It is widely used in fire safety engineering to investigate how various materials burn. The calorimeter can monitor the mass loss rate, heat release rate, smoke generation rate, ignition time, oxygen consumption status, and carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide generation.<br>The rate at which materials release heat and produce smoke when exposed to an external heat source is measured using a cone calorimeter.

  1. Tester for the fire propagation index with a combustion chamber made of calcium silicate board and a support frame made of stainless steel Describe the product. A comparative measurement of the contribution to the spread of a fire made by an essentially flat material, composite, or assembly is provided by the test method given in BS 476 part 6. A fire propagation index is used to represent the test outcome. Its major objective is to assess how well internal wall and ceiling linings work. Technological information 1. The box support structure made of stainless steel. 2. Quartz radiators with a 1000W power output that heat the sample. 3. There are also stainless steel sample holders, a calcium silicate board combustion chamber, a T- type burner, and an open flame combustion mode. 4. The power output is automatically controlled, and the output power is varied in accordance with the length of the test; 6. The thermocouple continuously logs the temperature differential between the chimney and the surrounding environment; and 7. 7.5. The computer may print test reports and manage the data automatically. Product Features and Applications 1. For specimens with variable thicknesses, three different types of sample containers 2. Construction of a chimney and cowl from mild steel with mounting points for thermocouples and a low-reflective black finish. 3. A compatible stainless steel gas burner. Four. Two K-type thermocouples with mineral and ceramic insulators. 5. Two 1000-watt heaters in the shape of pencils are installed in the combustion chamber. 6. Gas flow control equipment, including a manometer, a flow metre, and an electronic gas on/off valve. 7. Intelligent single phase power controller for accurate management of electric heating elements 8.The DAQ will automatically record the mV output from the flue gas thermocouples throughout the test. 9. Adapt the output power automatically based on the length of the test. Application: It is mostly used to evaluate how effectively ceiling and wall linings withstand fire. Product Specifications

  2. A method for determining a material's flame propagation properties is the BS 476-6 test method. In a fire, it is primarily used to gauge how well wall and ceiling linings perform. To express the findings, we use the flame propagation index. A tube torch was used to heat the test object, and at that period it produced 530 J/m of heat. At the conclusion of the test's 2 minutes and 45 seconds, the combined wattage of the two electric heaters was set at 1800 watts. After the first five minutes of the test, the power was reduced to 1500 watts and stayed there until the test was over. It took 20 minutes to finish the test. Software Interface Data Acquisition System-driven The cowl's temperature is measured and plotted against time. Data on temperature are logged and plotted against time. a power measurement in kW calibrating a system Increased output and calculation of calibration values Standard: BS:BS 476-6 Dimensions: The size of the device is 400mm (W) by 600mm (H) by 300mm (D) Control module, 400 mm (W) x 500 mm (H) x 400 mm (D) Installation specifications Size: 46 kilogramme Energy source: 230 volts 10 maximum amps Ambient temperature operating range: 10 to 35 °C Resources for Gas typical test gas The gas source mentioned in the Standard is G112, which is defined in BS 4947.
