Test equipment ASTM D6413

Characteristics

The test equipment enables the testing of the fire resistance of textiles (vertical test).

A textile specimen is clamped in a vertical frame and exposed to the flame of a gas burner for a defined time. The burning time, the afterglow time, and the extent of charring and length of fire spread are determined. In addition, the tensile strength of the burnt specimen is determined by hanging weights on the specimen.

Optional modules

  • Timer unit with timer, solenoid valve and flame protection
  • Mechanical piezo igniter for burner
  • Stop watch
  • Additional specimen holders for specific standards (VW, Toyota, Nissan etc.)
