Uses of the Cone Calorimeter
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper describes a series of small experimental programmes to investigate the use of the cone calorimeter with different materials. The difficulties of testing materials which swell or shrink significantly when heated and the nature of the cone calorimeter fire model were also investigated.
