Samall-scale free-burning pool fire tests were conducted in a cone calorimeter to obtain the combustion characteristics of 14 different crude oils. Measurements included the heat release rate based on oxygen consumption calorimetry, mass loss rate, radiative heat flux from the flame to a nearby target, liquid fuel temperature, extinction coefficient and CO_2 and CO concentrations in the exhaust duct. The effective heat of combustion, radiative heat loss fraction and Smoke yield were calculated on the basis of the measured data.
