- Abstract
- For much of the bench-scale work carried out over the last few years, the Cone Calorimeter has been found by numerous laboratories to be the best tool for heat release rate measurement. It has also been designed to include a number of other measuring functions, including: effective heat of combustion; mass loss rate; ignitability; smoke and soot; and toxic gases.
