✦ Synopsis

A controlled-atmosphere cone calorimeter has been developed that overcomes many of the shortcomings of previously developed units. The new apparatus is a fully sealed 9blow-through: system, which provides a full-size chamber in which the combustion process can occur. Oxygen concentrations from 0%+20.95% are achieved while maintaining the required con5guration and 6ow rates to meet standard cone calorimeter testing requirements. The apparatus was developed in order to obtain data on the burning of materials at reduced oxygen levels for modelling purposes. It is now being used in pyrolysis studies assisting in the determination of fundamental material 6ammability properties.

## Abstract With the ever increasing demand for fuel savings on vehicles, there is a strong push to replace metal with polymeric + fiber (carbon/glass) composites. However, the replacement of metal with polymeric composites can lead to additional fire risk. Our study focused on glass fiber reinforc
