Cone calorimeter for fire testing and safety engineering
Ensure safety in your materials by precisely measuring combustion properties and smoke emissions, providing crucial data for developing fire-resistant products and ensuring compliance with stringent fire safety standards.
The TCC 918 Cone Calorimeter from NETZSCH Analyzing & Testing is engineered for precise fire testing, crucial for fire safety engineers and testing laboratories. It operates on the oxygen consumption principle, accurately determining the heat release rate (HRR) by analyzing combustion gases, including CO, CO2, and O2, with the robust Siemens ULTRAMAT/OXYMAT 6E gas analyzer. This equipment excels in measuring smoke density and ignition behavior, vital for applications like flame-retardant electronics and building materials. Designed for longevity with a durable exhaust and burning system, the TCC 918 offers seamless integration into safety testing workflows, enhanced by its automated functions with intuitive touch panels, eliminating the need for an external PC. It’s constructed with corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring compatibility and reliability across testing conditions, and meets various international standards, including ISO 5660-1 and ASTM certifications.
