Reaction to fire tests for building products — Determination of the heat of combustion
This instrument determines the potential maximum total heat release of a product when completely burning regardless of its end use. The test specimen of a known mass is burned under standardised conditions, at constant volume in an atmosphere of oxygen, in the bomb calorimeter, which is calibrated by combustion of benzoic acid.
The calorific value determined under these conditions is calculated based on the measured temperature rise while taking account of heat losses.
Sample dimensions, quantities, mounting, substrate and conditioning requirements for this test are confirmed with you before testing begins. Contact our technical team for the sample requirements for your product.
