A cone calorimeter is a modern device used to study the fire behavior of small samples of various materials in condensed phase. It is widely used in the field of Fire Safety Engineering. It gathers data regarding the ignition time, mass loss, combustion products, heat release rate and other parameters associated with its burning properties. Device usually allows the fuel sample to be exposed to different heat fluxes over its surface. The principle for the measurement of the heat release rate is based on the Huggett's () principle that the gross heat of combustion of any organic material is directly related to the amount of oxygen required for combustion. Its name comes from the conical shape of the radiant heater that produces a nearly uniform heat flux over the surface of the sample under study.The Cone Calorimeter is the most significant bench scale instrument in the field of fire testing. Fire Testing Technology Limited (FTT) in the UK is currently the largest manufacturer of Cone Calorimeters. ==Fire Safety == A cone calorimeter is a useful apparatus in the department of Fire Safety and Analytical Services. It is able to study small samples of materials (approx. 100 *100 mm *mm), in order to determine their flammability. The fire characteristics of the material can be determined from several different standard models of the cone calorimeter. A list of various test standards is provided below by the UL Fire Safety Engineering Department: - 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cone calorimeter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
