When measuring the production rates of heat and smoke of upholstered furniture the ignition source must not influence the test results. In this paper variations in the strength, application time and geometry of the ignition burner used in the furniture calorimeter are studied. Results from replicate
Philip's equation, relating heat flux through a heat flux meter to that through the media surrounding the meter, was transformed to express the calibration factor of the heat flux meter as a linear function of the thermal conductivity of the medium encompassing the meter. The slope of the line depen
