Cone Calorimeter

Cone Calorimeter

The name of the cone calorimeter was derived from the shape of the truncated conical heater the designer, Babrauskas, used to irradiate the test specimen (100 × 100mm) at fluxes up to 100 kW/m2 in the bench-scale oxygen-depletion calorimeter that he and his co-workers developed .
The Cone Calorimeter has been produced to be the most compact and easily maintained unit in the marketplace.
It fits into the smallest of labs and is easy to operate using the user-friendly, menu-driven software, which guides users through the calibration, testing and reporting protocols.
