Thermal Characteristic Analyzer, Modified apparatus by ISO 5660, TCA_CC, Thermal Characteristic Analyzer, ISO 5660
FESTEC Thermal Characteristic Analyzer is specially designed for testing some characteristics modified by Conical Heater according to ISO 5660 Cone Calorimeter Method. This measures mass loss and mass loss rate, the specimen surface of radiant thermal, specimen surface of thermal, specimen middle of thermal, specimen lower of thermal, substrate surface of thermal , substrate inside of thermal(2 points), substrate bottom of thermal.
• ISO 5660-1:2002
Reaction-to-fire tests -- Heat release, smoke production and mass loss rate
-- Part 1: Heat release rate (cone calorimeter method)
① Cone-type radiation heater: Heater operation part is cone-shaped with the edge cut by electric heater rod, which generates 5,000W at available voltage.
② Radiation heat shut-off device: It protects specimen against radiation heat before starting test.
③ Radiation heat controller: It keeps average temperature of heater thermocouple within the set value ±10℃.

① Heater is designed to generate sufficient heat capacity equivalent to 50±1 Kw/㎡ when heater releases radiation heat according to ISO 5660.
② Heater is designed for easy temperature control due to a large-scale radial shape.
Temperature may be easily managed and controlled due to additionally attached temperature controller.
③ It is designed to measure variety of mass reduced by combustion of specimen. Attached Load Cell allows real-time measurement in DAQ Program.
④ Due to attached infrared temperature sensor, temperature of specimen surface increased by radiation heat before the specimen is ignited could be correctly measured.
⑤ Change in temperature by heat flux generated in the back and core of the specimen by radiation heat could be measured.
⑥ With airtight Chamber, ignition time and sustained time of specimen could be measured by change in oxygen temperature in the course of controlling concentration of nitrogen and oxygen.
