Development of a Calorimeter forimultaneously Measuring Heat Release and Mass Loss Rates

摘要

A heat release rate calorimeter (designated as NBS II) was designed, built, and put into operation. Heat release rate, mass loss rate, smoke, and heat of combustion of the unburned gaseous decomposition products are measured. A program involving through characterization of the instrument, obtaining reference heat release data for numerous materials, and conducting research in heat release rate and other flammability characteristics is recommended.
