Vertical Furnace

Vertical Furnace Compliance with BS EN 1364-1 Standard

Vertical furnaces, also known as vertical fire resistance furnaces, are specialized equipment used to test the fire resistance of various building materials and elements, such as walls, partitions, and floors. These furnaces are designed to simulate real-life fire conditions and evaluate the performance of construction products when exposed to high temperatures and flames. In this article, we will explore the essential features and compliance requirements of vertical furnaces as per the BS EN 1364-1 standard.

Horizontal Furnace，Fire Resistance of Building Elements

How to evaluating the Fire Resistance of Building Elements

The ASTM E119 standard, titled "Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials," is a widely accepted standard for evaluating the fire resistance of building elements, such as walls, floors, roofs, and doors. One of the key test methods within ASTM E119 is the horizontal furnace test, which assesses the ability of a building element to withstand exposure to fire for a specified period of time. In this article, we will delve into the details of the horizontal furnace test as per ASTM E119, including its purpose, procedures, and significance in evaluating the fire resistance of building elements.

Wire and Cable, Fire Resistance Tester, flammability tester

What is the function of Wire and Cable Fire Resistance Tester for Detecting the Fire Resistance of Wiring or Power Grid Cables?

The definition of a fire-resistive or fire-rated cable is a cable that will continue to operate in the presence of a fire. This is commonly known as a circuit integrity (CI) cable and is 2-hour fire-rated. ... This 2-hour fire-resistive cable is designed for emergency power circuits for fire pumps and emergency generators. Resistance heating wire is used in a variety of applications for generating heat. Household use can be found in toasters, portable space heaters, warming plates and more. Stove burners are an example of an electrical element used to create heat. Industrial furnaces and dryers use wire elements to produce heat.

Smoke Density Test, Wire And Cable, flammability tester

Smoke Density Test Machine For Wire And Cable

According to GB/T17651.1~2 and IEC61034-1~2,the first parts of "test device" and second part of "test steps and requirements" for the determination of smoke density of cables or optical cables under specific conditions. The determination of smoke density is an important aspect of assessing the combustion characteristics of cable or cable, which is related to the evacuation of the personnel and the determination of the proximity of the fire extinguishing. This instrument is mainly used to determine the smoke concentration of cables and optical cables under specific conditions and to verify the smoke density. Under the conditions of flame burning or flameless combustion, the transmittance is used as a way to compare different cables or cables under specific conditions.

Fire Testing Equipment Wire And Cable Vertical Horizontal Burning Test Machine

This machine is suitable for the flammability test of various wire and cable insulation coating materials, printed circuit board materials, IC insulators and other organic materials. During the test, the test piece is placed on the top of the flame, burned for 15 seconds, extinguished for 15 seconds, repeated After 5 times, the test piece is incinerated, and the burning, extinguishing time and repetition times can be set, and the operation can be performed automatically.

45° flammability tester, Automatic Flammability Tester

What is the ASTM D1230, FTMS191-5908 45 Degree Automatic Flammability Tester

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. The flame-impingement and sample holder are contained withina stainless steeltesting cabinet with glass observation window. For added safety, the interior sample mounting rack can be adjusted by the operator from the exterior. A brushing device to meet the standard requirements for preparing pile fabrics prior to testing is available upon request. Packs of burners and specimen holders are also available. The 45° Automatic Flammability Chamber automatically times the flame spread in 0.1 second increments from ignition. The time starts when the flame impinges and stops when the sample’s trigger string burns through.

What is the Textile Flammability Testing?

Textile flammability is not a simple function, where the 'burning behaviour' of the material can be predicted under all circumstances. The subject is complex; and has resulted in the development of a wide spectrum of test methods, some of which are specific to particular end-uses.
