ISO 5660 Cone Calorimeter ASTM E 1354 Building Materials Heat Release

Cone Calorimeter Product Introduction:

ISO 5660 Flammability Analyzer Cone Calorimeter for Laboratory measures heat release rate(H.R.R), smoke release,ignition time, oxygen consumption, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide generation and mass loss rate when a specimen is exposed to a resource of the conical heater.

ISO 5660 Flammability Analyzer Cone Calorimeter for Laboratory is based on the theory that pure combustion calories are in proportion to a necessary amount of oxygen for combustion and 13.1 MJ/kg is generated whenever oxygen 1kg is consumed, and heat emission, ignition time, oxygen consumption, CO and CO2 generation, and flow of ignited gases as generated from test materials are measured.

Cone Calorimeter Standards:

• ISO 5660: Tests for reaction to fire - heat release rate, smoke generation rate and mass loss rate
• ASTM E 1354: Standard test method for heat and visible smoke release rate of materials
• BS 476 Pt.15: Testing of building materials and building structures: – Methods for testing the heat release rate of products
• GB/T 16172-2007 Test method for heat release rate of building materials
• NFPA 264
