External use of Microscale Combustion Calorimeter (MCC)

DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT

Microscale Combustion Calorimeter (FAA Micro Calorimeter, Fires Testing Technology Limited).

The MCC is a small-scale analytical instrument used to measure the heat release properties of materials during controlled thermal decomposition. It operates by pyrolysing a very small sample in an inert atmosphere and subsequently combusting the evolved gases in a high-temperature oxygen stream. The heat release rate (HRR), total heat release (THR), and heat release capacity are determined with high precision. The MCC is particularly valuable for rapid screening of materials and studying the intrinsic flammability of polymers. It requires minimal sample quantities and provides reproducible, quantitative data.
