Abstract
The Cone Calorimeter—ISO 5660 and ASTM E1354—has been the primary bench-scale test for measuring the heat release rate for fires ever since the early 1990s. The technical details of how to construct and operate the instrument has been well documented in the standards, in reports, and in published papers. But the background for its development had not been earlier published. Because the Cone Calorimeter represented a ground-breaking, new approach to heat release studies, the present paper describes some of the historical context and laboratory developments which led to the invention of the calorimeter.
锥形量热仪- iso 5660和ASTM e1354 -自20世纪90年代初以来一直是测量火灾热释放率的主要实验尺度测试。如何构建和操作仪器的技术细节在标准、报告和发表的论文中都有很好的记录。但其发展背景此前并未公布。由于锥式量热计代表了一种开创性的热释放研究新方法,因此本文描述了导致量热计发明的一些历史背景和实验室发展。
