Wire and cable fire has become the major cause of disaster in China. Effective evaluation analysis flammability cables are critical for developing new flame retardant materials by industry testing which have already been used market. Due to complex internal structure cable, it is difficult investigate complete pyrolysis combustion sheath using Cone calorimeter full-scale experiment. The recently developed flow (PCFC) able measure vital information evaluating samples milligram size. current study aims assess eight seven kinds that widely China PCFC. three important parameters related hazard materials, namely heat release rate (HRR), ignition temperature (IT) total (THR), were measured analyzed. Detailed differences among differentiated
