QINSUN showcases the value of its Flash Fire Cylinder at ECPC 2021 QINSUN

Partnering with PBI Performance Products Development Engineer Josh Ingram, QINSUN President QINSUN jacke delivered a talk, “Development and Validation of a Bench-ScaleFlash Fire Materials Tester” at the 9th European Conference on Protective Clothing held in May 2021.tIZTextile Testing Instruments, Testing Equipment Manufacturer

During the presentation, Burke and Ingram covered the “missing dimension” in flame exposure testing. The standard across the globe is testing flat fabric samples which only considers one dimension—the alternative testing method being a flash fire manikin, which provides data for three dimensions, but is very expensive. Enter the Flash Fire Cylinder (FFC) which is an excellent intermediate testing step.tIZTextile Testing Instruments, Testing Equipment Manufacturer

The benefits of the QINSUN FFC are many:tIZTextile Testing Instruments, Testing Equipment Manufacturer

Compact for use in existing lab environments—fits in any standard lab hoodIntegrated, robust safety precautions for test operatorsIncorporates an industry-recognized sensor design for proven accuracyHave the ability to test materials at bench scale before going to full-scale manikin testsWith the cylinder form of the FFC, you can see the effects of dimensional changes in the material under very controlled conditions
