"The cone calorimeter is one of the experimental set-ups used in fire safety science. A picture of a cone calorimeter can be seen in figure {numref}`fig-pyrolysis-cone`. A sample is placed under a cone shaped heater. The heater will induce a certain heat flux to the sample, causing the sample to pyrolyse or to burn. During the experiment the mass loss of the sample is measured. Additionally a gasanalyser is used to measure the $\\mf CO$, $\\mf CO_2$ amd $\\mf O_2$ concentrations released/consumed by the sample. This allows for the determination of the heat release rate of the sample by the Janssens method. Usually the sample is placed in a holder with frame. The space between the bottom of the holder and the sample is usually filled with isolation, although experiments with other filling materials are also possible. \n",
