Calibration of flow rate in cone calorimeter tests

摘要: The cone calorimeter is one of the major fire tests. measurement method based on evaluation mass flow and oxygen concentration effluents to calculate heat release rate. Different studies highlighted that governing parameter for uncertainty at important values rate was characteristic constant an orifice plate used measure (C-factor). This usually determined each testing day by consumption calorimetry with a reference methane burner. publication presents calibration volumetric without using then extension C-factor determination burner calorimetry. calculation applied real example highlights fact suitable respect tolerance standardized test conditions both parameters.
