The technique enables parameters such as Specific Heat Release Rate (W/g), Heat of Combustion (J/g) and Ignition Temperature (°C) to be quickly determined from very small (1-50mg) specimens. It is a low cost and accurate technique; typical repeatability is ± 5%.
Micro Calorimeter data has been shown to correlate with fire test data (Cone Calorimeter, OSU), flammability results (LOI, UL94) and combustion tests (Bomb Calorimeter) and is therefore seen as a powerful, low cost tool to assess and predict flammability properties.
