Test Procedures
Mount the sample on the fixture and ensure it is flat and securely fixed.
Set the burner tilt angle, flame height, and preset flame application time.
Adjust the airflow in the ventilation chamber to maintain 0.10–0.30 m/s vertical velocity.
Start the PLC program; the burner automatically ignites and applies the flame.
Observe the combustion process; the touchscreen records T1/T2/T3 times and flame behavior.
After the flame application, the burner automatically retracts and data recording completes.
Data can be stored and exported for analysis and report generation.
Maintenance Information
(1) Regularly inspect fuel connections for leaks to ensure safety.
(2) Clean the sample fixture, press plate, and ventilation chamber to avoid residue affecting results.
(3) Check PLC and touchscreen functionality.
(4) Periodically calibrate flame height and timer accuracy.
(5) Ensure LED lighting operates correctly.
