The Cone Calorimeter is the most significant bench scale instrument in the field of fire testing. Building on FTT’s decades of expertise in design and manufacture of calorimeters, iCone® Plus 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.
The iCone® Plus is the most advanced automatic Cone Calorimeter in the world forming part of our new range of interactive fire testing instrumentation (the i-series).
Unique Features of iCone® Plus:
Remote control of the cone assembly position so that heater-specimen surface separation can be adjusted pre and mid test, to facilitate testing of intumescing or thermally distorting specimens
Programmable heat flux exposure up to 10 consecutive ramping or holding steps
Automatic / manual control of motorised heat shield to protect specimen from heat exposure before test
Automatic / manual control of positioning and control of spark igniter to ignite the combustion gases from the specimen
Automatic / manual control of retractable 4 side heat resistant glass protective screen which provides a draft-free environment around the fire model with clear viewing from all sides
7" colour touchscreen test control panel adjacent to specimen
Automatic calibration and control of gas analysis instrumentation and the entire calorimeter by ConeCalc Software
Load cell resolution of 0.01g and load capacity up to 8.2kg
Load cell mounted on an independent table to avoid any vibration from exhaust fan
All round access to specimen platform for specimen preparation and cleaning
Easy to clean large, highly durable black granite working surface
Fire model protection alarm system
Online support and remote control of instruments from FTT
