As a part of the continuing fire research programme of the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory, a method was developed which allows direct calculation of the heat combustion of volatile pyrolysis products as the difference between the heat of combustion of unpyrolysed wood and the heat of combustion of the residual char left after partial pyrolysis. This method was used to determine the calorific value of the volatile products of partially pyrolysed wood in which the volatilization of the wood ranges from about 15 per cent to about 85 per cent.
