TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Investigations of conveyor belts flammability. comparison of flammability assessment using the large-scale gallery test and cone calorimeter JO - Fire and materials A1 - Wachowicz, J SP - 213 EP - 218 VL - 22 IS - 5 N2 - The paper describes results of investigations of conveyor belt flammability in full scale, using the large-scale gallery method and using cone calorimeter. On the basis of oxygen consumption calorimetry, the amounts of heat release during burning of conveyor belts were calculated. A correlation was found between results of conveyor belt flammability obtained using both methods. Criteria for conveyor belt flammability assessment were established for the cone calorimeter method, which define a level that would be equivalent to that for the large-scale gallery test.
