- Abstract
- Smoke emission and the light extinction coefficient are measured for propane, heptane, PMMA, wood, Prudhoe Bay crude oil, and rigid polyurethane in the Cone Calorimeter for radiant fluxes up to 100 kW/M(2). By increasing the specific burning rate in the Cone Calorimeter to match the burning rate in a large scale test, a good correlation is obtained between the smoke properties obtained with the Cone and the same properties obtained in large scale tests.
