Abstract
The Swedisn box apparatus was modified to include an oxygen analysis of the exhaust gases to be compared with the conventional exhaust gas temperature measurement. A slow‐burning material shows good correlation between the temperature measurement and the rate of heat release. A fast‐burning material, however, consumes all the available oxygen, and the temperature measurement becomes a measure of only the thermal properties of the material.Keywords
