- Abstract
- [ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH] An extensive presentation is made of light scattering theory and of the factors influencing smoke opacity. This is then applied to analyze the data from an experimental study on five building materials where three different smoke measuring systems were installed on the Cone Calorimeter; the standard laser system, a commercially available white light system (the 'Maurer photometer,' DIN 50 055) and a custom-made white light system.
