Help safeguard lives and property from fire risks by complying with requirements for accurately measuring the potential heat of building materials.

NFPA 259, Standard Test Method for Potential Heat of Building Materials, provides a means of determining a property-type measurement of the amount of heat that can possibly be given off by building materials when exposed to a heat source. A must-have for fire test labs, manufacturers, fire protection engineers, and fire researchers.

NFPA 259 covers:

• Test apparatus and materials
• Test specimens
• Oxygen bomb calorimeter test procedures
• Electric muffle furnace test procedures
• Calculating potential heat
• And more
