The Flame Spread Test Machine is designed for evaluating the flame spread performance of protective clothing and related materials under controlled small-flame exposure conditions. The instrument is developed and manufactured in accordance with ISO 15025, enabling accurate assessment of limited flame spread behavior when materials are subjected to ignition hazards.
It is used as a professional testing instrument for simulating flame diffusion performance of fire protective clothing, providing reliable data for product development, quality control, and regulatory compliance.
The Flame Spread Test Machine is applicable to flame spread and ignition hazard assessment across the following industries and products:
(1) Protective Clothing Industry: fire-fighting suits, heat-resistant garments, industrial protective clothing, multi-layer protective apparel
(2) Textile Industry: woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, coated textiles, quilted materials, laminated and sandwich structures
(3) Industrial Fabrics and Covers: curtains, large tents, awnings, door masks, industrial drapes
(4) Building and Interior Materials: decorative fabrics, wall coverings, interior textile panels
(5) Marine and Transportation Industry: marine interior materials, surface finishes, bulkhead and ceiling materials
(6) Aviation Industry: aircraft interior materials complying with Boeing and aviation flammability requirements
(7) Children’s and Safety Products: materials used in products requiring flammability control for safety purposes
(8) Research and Quality Inspection: laboratory testing samples, third-party certification testing, product performance verification
The instrument is suitable for new product development, production quality control, laboratory research, and third-party testing applications.
The instrument complies with and can be applied to the following international and domestic standards (including but not limited to):
(1) ISO 15025:2000 – Protective clothing — Protection against heat and flame — Method of test for limited flame spread
(2) BS EN ISO 15025:2002 – Protective clothing — Protection against heat and flame — Method of test for limited flame spread
