Characteristics

  • Determination of the fire behavior of building materials - Flammability of building products when exposed to a radiant heater.

The device is used to determine the flammability of building products (materials, composites and components).

The specimens are exposed to heat radiation of 10 to 70 kW/m³ generated by an electric cone radiator. During this process, the specimen is pressed against a pressure plate with a defined force. In addition, the gases detaching from the specimen are ignited by means of a periodically applied pilot flame. The time that elapses until the specimen ignites is measured..
