My question can be subdivide into two parts:
1) Are there models available which are suitable in predicting the heat released by a polymer in PCFC?
2) If I want to develop a new model to predict the heat released by a polymer(in pure O2 Environment) against increasing temperature (Such as from 400 to 800 C), what is the best point to start from?
The results of a PCFC experiment are attached for reference.
Dear Farrukh, please to take a look ASTM D 7309 "Standard Test Method for Determining Flammability Characteristics of Plastics and Other Solid Materials Using Microscale Combustion Calorimetry"
best regards, A
I have used PCFC instrument made by FTT, and the quality was really bad. First of all, it malfunctioned several time and support was really poor and expensive. Besides, even when it worked, data was rather noisy.
It is not only us. I at least know one other laboratory which had similar issues both with equipment and support.
I was wondering if any one have any suggestions for a better make? For instance I know Concept equipment also make PCFC but I noticed they use identical software as FTT. Does anyone have any experience with another brand? Concept or any other maker?
