Abstract
An automatic test apparatus calculates the amount of heat released by a material. The apparatus includes a calorimeter having a heating or burn chamber in which a sample of test material is burned by subjecting it to preselected heat flux rates. A computer automatically controls the apparatus by governing sample insertion into the chamber, and monitors the amount of heat and smoke the sample releases. Heat and smoke release data is automatically generated and provided to the user after every test.
