The Cone Calorimeter is one of the most important measuring instruments in fire testing. The TCC 918 by NETZSCH TAURUS Instruments is a Cone Calorimeter designed to investigate the fire behavior of materials under controlled conditions. The instrument uses the oxygen-consumption calorimetry method to measure the heat release during combustion. Thanks to its accuracy, versatility and simplicity, the measurement principle is currently considered the most advanced method for determining the fire and smoke behavior of building materials in accordance with ISO 5660-1 and ASTM E1354.

The TCC 918 now offers additional functionality by coupling with Bruker's OMEGA 5 FT-IR gas analyzer. As a result, it is now possible to identify and quantify toxic gases.
