The invention belongs to the technical field of
fire control, and particularly relates to a device and a method for measuring
combustion characteristics of combustible materials. The device consists of a high temperature resistant weighbridge, a high temperature resistant bracket, an oil pan, a micromanometer, a
thermocouple, a two-way probe, a thermal
radiometer, a compensating conductor, a dataacquisition
system, an ignition pan, a rectification grid, an air feeder, a bracket and an air tube. The device is arranged in a
fire experiment lab, combustible materials to be measured are arrangedon a tray of the weighbridge, after the combustible materials are ignited with the constant-power ignition pan, the air feeder is started, and the
mass loss rate, the fireplume speed, the temperatureand the
radiant heat of the combustible materials under different air speed are measured. Then
combustion heat measured with an
oxygen bomb
calorimeter is multiplied by the
combustion rate to obtain the thermal power of the combustible materials. The device has a simple structure, the calculation is convenient, the limitation of laboratory conditions and fire source power is small, and the deviceand the method are suitable for measuring the combustion characteristics of large combustible materials.
