ISO 5658-2 ASTM E1321 Flammability Testing Equipment Spread of Flame Test

Product Specification

ISO 5658-2 ASTM E1321 Flammability Testing Equipment Spread of Flame Test Apparatus

Description:

It’s suitable to evaluate burning characteristics of construction materials and measure the spread of flame,flame condition of ignition at multiple distances,critical flux,and total heat release value.It can also measure the burning characteristics of vertical specimen.After recording time of ignition and extinguishment at each distance,we can calculate the flame spread rate.

Other test results include:ignition heat(MJ/m2),continuous burning heat(MJ/m2),critical flux(MJ/m2),average heat of continuous burning(MJ/m2),total heat release value(kW).

· ISO 5658-2 : Reaction to fire tests –Spread of flame - Part 2 Lateral spread on building products in vertical configuration

· IMO Resolution A. 653(16): Recommendation on fire test procedures for flammability of bulkhead, ceiling and deck finish materials

· ASTM E 1317 : Standard test method for flammability of marine surface finishes

Features:

1. All controlling system is Ex-proof;

2. Cylinder type pilot burner can support automatic flame impingement by IMO standard;

3. Dual layers grid and enlarged lenses make users easy to inspect the flame spread situation;

4. Temperature controller of radiant panel can be used to measure internal temperature of light source

plate. It can close Solenoid value automatically when flame reflux;

5. Large flow controller can easily measure methane content when measuring critical heat flux of gas;

6. All Ex-proof parts in radiant panel combustion controlling system can prevent gas reflux,like check

value and solenoid value;

7. Camera can observe and store test procedures at certain program;

8. Measure heat flux condition of radiant panel in 50mm;

9. Data acquisition system can store images of flame spread length and burning characteristics;

10. 19°analyzing frame can measure flame spread rate,critical flux,heat release rate;

11. IMO program makes all calibration,test and test result printed (IMO,ISO) easier.

Test result:

• Heat for sustained burning (MJ/m2)

- It is gained by multiplying time, which ranges from the initial exposure of test object to arrival of flame-tip in each point, by radiant heat flow penetrated against nonflammable calibration panel in the same point.

• Average heat for sustained burning (MJ/m2)

- It is an average of characteristic values measured in individual positions by continuous sustained heat. The characteristic value is measured in continuous position at an interval of 50 mm from the initial 1500mm to the final position or 400 mm, whichever is lower.

• Heat for ignition (MJ/m2)

- It is gained by multiplying time, which ranges from the initial exposure of test object to arrival of flame-tip in a point of 150 mm, by heat flow of this point. (However, heat flow is gained by pre-calibration of test equipment.)

• Critical flux at extinguishment (kW/m2)

- It means heat flux in the location where flame spreads to the farthest distance from the center line of combusting test object. The heat flow is gained by performing calibration test of tester using calibration panels.

• Total heat release (MJ)

- It means total heat release during test period.

• Peak heat release rate (kW)

- It means peak heat release rate during test period.
