Abstract
Heat release rate is the single most important variable in fire hazard assessment [1]. Various testmethods for measuring the heat release rate of materials and products under different conditions have therefore been developed. This chapter is dedicated to these test methods. An apparatus used for measuring heat release rate is referred to as a calorimeter and the measurement of heat release rate is called calorimetry.
