Products:
Heat release quantity is the core parameters to evalate the fire behavior of materials and products.TESTech's Cone Calorimeter can meet all existing standards (including ISO 5660, ASTM E 1354, ASTM E 1474, ASTM E 1740, ASTM F 1550, ASTM D 6113,NFPA 264,CAN ULC 135 and BS 476 Part 15).This equipment includes these systems such as heat release, mass loss, smoke generation, etc,and allow users to buy the parts they need one by one and add into the same chamber.This flexible feature is one of it's advantages.

Cone Calorimeter test theory is based on the principle that the burn calories is proportional to the amount of oxygen's consumption,1KG oxygen consumption will produce 13.1 MJ heat. Test gas heat emission, ignition timing, oxygen consumption rate, CO/CO2 generation rate, the gas flow will be measured all. Cone Calorimeter DAQ system can help users to easily control the entire test. 19 "touch screen can help realizing the automatic testing and reducing installation space. In addition, users can also change the sample temperature, or adjust the temperature rise time to test,after setting up the virtual temperature at real fire conditions. This method can obtain the similar test results to real fire environment.
