Thermal Radiation Dripping Tester
The Thermal Radiation Dripping Tester is designed according to international standards NF P92-505, EU 95/28/EC, and ECE R118 Annex 7. It is used to determine melt dripping and combustion performance of materials, as an additional test for M-class building materials under NF P92-505.
Applications
This tester is suitable for evaluating the melt dripping and combustion behavior of heat-sensitive and thermoplastic materials under a concentrated thermal source. Typical applications include:
(1) Flexible and thin building insulation materials.
(2) Fiber pads for thermal insulation.
(3) Thermoplastic materials in automotive interiors.
(4) Fire performance assessment for M-class building materials.
Standards
(1) NF P92-505: Reaction to fire – Melt dripping test for building materials.
(2) EU 95/28/EC: European directive for fire performance of materials used in certain categories of motor vehicles.
(3) ECE R118 Annex 7: Flammability characteristics of automotive interior materials.
(4) ISO 5657: Reaction-to-fire tests – Heat release rate.
(5) ASTM E162: Surface flammability of materials using radiant heat.
