FAQ
(1) Can the tester simulate human breathing during testing?
Yes, the system includes a manual breathing device with adjustable cycles and air volume.
(2) How is the heat radiation precisely measured?
The tester uses imported heat flux sensors and a controlled flame height to maintain accurate HRR at 7.0–9.0 kW/m².
(3) Is the system fully automated?
Yes, the PLC + touch screen control allows automated timing, HRR data collection, and storage of test reports.
(4) Can the headform be adjusted or moved during testing?
Yes, the headform is mounted on a sliding rail for flexible positioning relative to the radiation source.
(5) What type of gas is used for the flame?
The tester uses controlled gas via imported flow and needle valves; typically propane or a propane mixture is applied.
