iCone^²⁺ El calorímetro

The iCone^²⁺ Calorimeter (ISO 5660; ASTM E1354) is the latest in the FTT Cone range and incorporates all of the best features of our range of cone calorimeters. It offers cutting-edge PCB-based technology, in a modular and robust build with remote communication, cone operation and diagnostic facilities that allow FTT the capability to efficiently respond, diagnose problems and service installations in all corners of the world.

El iCone²⁺ es el cono calorimétrico más avanzado, fiable, intuitivo y fácil de utilizar del mundo.

The Cone Calorimeter is the most significant bench scale instrument in the field of fire testing. Building on FTT’s decades of expertise in the design and manufacture of calorimeters, the iCone^²⁺ features an interactive and intuitive interface, automatic or manual control, sophisticated and flexible control options, and built-in data acquisition technology for robust data collection, analysis and reporting. It incorporates many new features not previously seen by fire testing laboratories while being compact, accurate, reliable and easily maintained.

All FTT calorimeters use a Peltier cooling device and drying agent to remove all moisture from the sample gas stream to prevent drift in the Oxygen baseline concentration. Tests have shown that just using a Peltier cooling device leads to baseline oxygen drift beyond the limits of the standard and results in incorrect Heat Release measurement.

Propiedades de medición directa:

• Tasa de liberación de calor
• Tiempo de ignición
• Tasa de pérdida de masa
• Tasa de liberación de humo
• el calor de combustión efectivo
• Rates of the release of combustion gas (e.g. carbon oxides)

International standards have been published describing the equipment and several national standardisation bodies have now published product standards for use of the Cone Calorimeter in assessing the performances of finished products.

• Productos mobiliarios (ASTM E1474)
• Materiales para el revestimiento de paredes (ASTM E1740)
• Colchones para prisiones (ASTM F1550)
• Cables eléctricos (ASTM D6113)
• Aplicaciones con material rodante ferroviario (EN 45545-2)
• Aplicaciones marítimas (IMO)

Características exclusivas del iCone²⁺:

• Online support and remote diagnostics add control of instruments from FTT for quick and effortless support
• Diseño basado en tecnología de PCB montados en superficie de vanguardia
• El diseño modular de los PCB facilita un mejor mantenimiento y una mayor fiabilidad
• Improved laser mounting system for easier setup and calibration as well as the elimination of thermal drift
• Robust engineering for an improved life expectancy of the instrument
• Última generación de analizadores de gases con tecnología PCB y pantalla táctil
• Remote cone heater assembly positioning control so that heater-specimen surface separation can be adjusted pre- and mid-test, to facilitate testing of intumescing or thermally distorting specimens
• Regímenes de exposición al flujo de calor programables. Se pueden programar hasta 10 rampas consecutivas de flujo de calor o fases de calor constante.
• Motorised heat shield to protect the specimen from heat exposure before the test
• 5.5″ colour touchscreen test control panel, adjacent to specimen, supplements principal computer control
• Calibración automática mediante el software ConeCalc

Opciones:

• Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide – NDIR gas analysers are optionally available
• Optional larger Cone fire model for testing specimens with very low heat release rates under uniform heat flux over the entire surface
• Controlled Atmosphere Attachment – for testing specimens in low oxygen atmospheres that may be found in well-developed fires, or for studying the effects of gaseous suppressants or other dynamic controlled-atmosphere environments. The cone assembly is located on top of the enclosure with exhaust gas exiting through the cone only. The cabinet replaces the conventional cone assembly but uses the same controllers as the normal cone. A door on the front of the assembly has a viewing window. Changing between the standard fire model and this unit is simple.
• FTIR Toxicity Test System – an advanced gas analyser used for continuous measurement of combustion gases in conjunction with FTT‘s cone calorimeter, Smoke Density Chamber or Single Burning Item.
• Cone Corrosimeter – built in accordance with ASTM D5485 and used for assessing the corrosive potential of combustion products.
• Sistema informático integrado.
• Células de carga Sartorius (gama ampliada).
• Muestreo de masa de hollín.
