Although the Cone Calorimeter is a small-scale fire test equipment, some of its test results can be used to predict the fire performance of materials in large-scale tests and real fire conditions. At present, CONE has been applied in the fields of building materials, polymer materials, composite materials, wood products and cables by many countries, regions and international standard organizations.
1. Cone Calorimeter to evaluate the combustion performance of materials
Combining HRR, pkHRR and TTI, we can quantitatively judge the burning hazard of the material. The larger the HRR and pkHRR and the smaller the TTI, the greater the potential fire hazard of the material; on the contrary, the less hazard of the material.
2. Cone Calorimeter to evaluate the flame retardant mechanism
From the performance parameters such as EHC, HRR and SEA, the gas phase flame retardant and condensed phase flame retardant situation of the material during the pyrolysis process can be discussed. Complete, indicating that the flame retardant works in the gas phase, which belongs to the gas phase flame retardant mechanism. If there is no big change in EHC, but the average HRR decreases, it means that the MLR also decreases, which belongs to condensed phase flame retardant.
3. Cone Calorimeter conducts fire modeling research
The original intention of the invention of the Cone Calorimeter is to design a fire model. Through the CONE, the performance parameter HRR that can best characterize the hazard in a fire can be measured, so as to design a fire model. It is worth noting that during the test, other properties required for fire model design, such as toxicity, smoke, etc., were also measured together with the HRR.
