FAQ
What is the Surface Flammability Tester?
It is a device used to measure the combustion time and flame propagation of textile fabrics under controlled conditions.
Why is surface flammability testing important?
Ensures that textile products meet safety regulations and reduce fire hazards in consumer products.
What types of fabrics can be tested?
Pile fabrics, carpets, upholstery, clothing textiles, and industrial fabrics.
How is the sample tested?
The fabric is clamped in the sample holder; an electric ignition source is applied at a fixed distance, and the burning time and flame height are measured automatically.
Which international and domestic standards does it comply with?
Complies with GB/T 8745-2001, ISO 10047:1993, ASTM D1230, CFR 16 Part 1610, EN ISO 6940, NFPA 701, and JIS L1091.
