Protective Clothing Flammability Tester
The Protective Clothing Flammability Tester is specifically designed to evaluate the thermal performance and flammability characteristics of materials, with a focus on protective clothing and high-performance fabrics. The instrument simulates exposure to a high heat source, providing accurate assessment of heat resistance and potential fire hazards.
Application
(1) Flammability testing of protective clothing materials used in firefighting, industrial, and hazardous environments.
(2) Assessment of thermal resistance for fabrics exposed to high heat sources.
(3) Quality control and compliance testing for flame-resistant garments.
(4) Laboratory research on textile and polymer materials for fire safety applications.
(5) Evaluation of material performance under standardized flammability test conditions.
Compliance Standards
The Protective Clothing Flammability Tester is compliant with international and regional standards for textile flammability testing:
ASTM D4108 – Standard Test Method for Heat Resistance of Flame-Resistant Fabrics
ASTM D7140 – Standard Test Method for Flame Resistance of Textiles
BS EN 367 – Protective Clothing – Determination of Resistance to Heat and Flame
CAN/CGSB 155.20 – Protective Clothing – Flammability Test Method
ISO 9151 – Textiles – Determination of the Heat Resistance of Protective Clothing Materials
