Recent developments in the fire retardancy of polymeric materials (2013, methodology): “HRR0 for any material is calculated by taking steady-state HRRs at three different heat fluxes, and using the slope of the straight line extrapolation of these points to resolve the HRR at a zero heat flux [168, 169].”
An overview of flame retardancy of polymeric materials: application, technology, and future directions (2013, background): “This group additivity approach to polymer flammability showed that highly aliphatic materials (polymers with mostly sp(3) carbon bonds) have the potential for high heat release whereas those with more aromatic character (sp(2) bonds) have lower heat release [5,6].”
Cone calorimeter analysis of UL‐94 V‐rated plastics (2007, methodology): “Another technique looks at a parameter called the ‘critical HRR’ or HRR0, which is calculated by looking at steady HRR on a particular sample at three different heat fluxes, and then, using the slope of these points to determine the HRR at a zero heat flux [4,9,10].”
