Flooring Material Combustion Performance Tester
The Flooring Material Combustion Performance Tester is designed to evaluate the combustion characteristics of flooring materials exposed to small flames and an inclined radiant heat source under controlled laboratory conditions. The instrument assesses the combustion performance of the entire flooring system, including backing materials, sublayers, and surface layers.
Applications
(1) Testing textile floor coverings, including carpets and carpet tiles.
(2) Evaluating wooden floorboards, engineered wood flooring, and laminated wood panels.
(3) Assessing rubber flooring materials used in gyms, playgrounds, and industrial flooring.
(4) Testing plastic flooring materials, including vinyl, PVC, linoleum, and coated floor finishes.
(5) Characterizing the combustion performance of cork boards and cork-based floor coverings.
(6) Laboratory simulation of fire reaction for composite or multilayer flooring systems.
(7) Evaluating performance of flooring under radiant heat exposure relevant to commercial, residential, and industrial applications.
(8) Supporting certification and quality control of flooring materials for building code compliance and fire safety standards.
