Cone Calorimeter

The Cone Calorimeter is a sophisticated fire testing apparatus used to measure the flammability and heat release properties of materials.
Heat Source: A radiant heater simulates an external heat source, such as flames.
Sample Holder: Materials are exposed horizontally to the heat source.
Measurement: It quantifies parameters like heat release rate, smoke production, and gas release, crucial for assessing fire hazards.
Industry Testing: Vital in industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and textiles to assess fire safety and performance.
Research and Development: Facilitates the development of fire-resistant materials and innovative fire suppression technologies.
Precision Testing: Offers precise and reliable data on material flammability and fire behavior.
Safety Assurance: Helps manufacturers and researchers ensure compliance with stringent fire safety regulations and standards.
Innovation Catalyst: Supports ongoing advancements in fire safety technology and material science.
- Size: Typically requires samples of approximately 100 mm × 100 mm square dimensions.
- Thickness: Ideal sample thickness ranges from 1 mm to 25 mm to ensure consistent and accurate heat distribution.
- Condition: Samples must be uniformly prepared and dry to maintain test reliability and consistency.
