Vertical Flammability Tester

Introduction

Vertical Flammability Chamber for measuring the vertical flame spread for children’ sleepwear, fabrics, other textile materials or resilient filling materials used in upholstered furniture. Comprises a draft free stainless steel cabinet with observation window and back wall painted black for easy test viewing. The different specimen holders and associated hardware is dependent on the test standards. Automatic Gas Control System could easily control the combustion process.

Application

This tester is used to detect children's pajamas or decorative fabrics, combustion performance of foam, also it’s suitable for the determination of aviation and transport materials, burning resistance of the tents and protective clothing.
