Curtain Combustion Tester

The Curtain Combustion Tester is designed to evaluate the flame resistance of textiles and fabrics used in window coverings, public spaces, and construction materials. The instrument simulates standardized combustion conditions, providing accurate measurements of flame spread, combustion time, and weight loss after testing. This ensures compliance with fire safety regulations and supports material development and quality control.

Application

• Window coverings in commercial/residential buildings.

• Textile products used in public spaces (theaters, hotels).

• Construction fabrics and banners.

Standards

• NFPA 701 (2004 & 2009 Edition, Test Method 1): Standard for flame resistance of fabrics and films.

Advantages

1. Precision Testing: Vertical sample mounting with standardized 45-second ignition.

2. Automated Control: Touchscreen operation with automatic ignition/exhaust.

3. Isolated Environment: Sealed test chamber minimizes external interference.

4. Adjustable Flame: Meker burner with 100mm adjustable height for varied testing needs.

5. Data Accuracy: Measures combustion time (±0.1s) and weight loss post-test.

Features

• Testing Principle: Samples are moistened, vertically clamped, and exposed to a Meker burner flame for 45 seconds. Flame spread and combustion duration are recorded.

• Key Components:

• Test Chamber: Black interior with transparent observation window (675×500×700mm).

• Sample Clamp: Parallel longitudinal mounting at 150mm×400mm, with adjustable nail positions (37mm, 66mm, 95mm, 124mm, 153mm).

• Exhaust System: Automatic emission control for smoke/fumes.

• Ignition: Automatic flame application with 100mm height adjustment.

Technical Parameters

Maintenance Information

(1) Clean the chamber and observation window regularly to prevent soot accumulation.
(2) Inspect the Meker burner for clogging or wear and replace as necessary.
(3) Ensure proper operation of the exhaust system to prevent smoke interference.
(4) Service the control touchscreen and sensors periodically to maintain accuracy.

Conclusion

The Curtain Combustion Tester provides precise, reliable evaluation of flame resistance for textiles and fabrics used in public, residential, and commercial applications, ensuring safety compliance and supporting product development.
