Used to determine the burning characteristics of textiles under controlled conditions， the 45°Automatic Flammability Chamber automatically times the flame spread in 0.I second increments from ignition. The time starts when the flame impinges and stops when the sample's trigger string burns through. The flame burns ata45°angle under controlled flame-impingement at the tip of a stainless steel hypodermic needle with automatic flame impingement times of I,5 or 20 seconds available.

Flammability Tester of Building Material is a device used to measure how easily certain building materials can burn or ignite. It is used to assess the flammability characteristics of different types of construction materials such as drywall, insulation, plastics and timber. The tester measures the rate at which a material combusts when exposed to an open flame from a gas-oxygen burner.
A surface flammability tester is a device that is used to test the flammability characteristics of a surface material. It is typically used to evaluate the potential fire risk of a material by measuring how easily it ignites and how quickly it burns when exposed to a flame or other ignition source.
