NFPA-701-1 Curtain Flame Propagation Test Machine For Fabric Material

NFPA-701-1 Curtain Flame Propagation Test Machine

product introduce

The NFPA 701-1 curtain flame propagation test machine evaluates the fire resistance of textiles and films, such as curtains, drapes, and tents. Compliant with NFPA 701, ISO 6940, and EN 1103 standards, it measures flame spread, afterflame time, and mass loss to ensure safety in public spaces, theaters, and outdoor structures. Essential for global fire safety certifications.

Standard

1. NFPA 701: Standard Methods of Fire Tests for Flame Propagation of Textiles and Films

Method 1: Applicable to single-layer or tightly combined multi-layer fabrics (such as curtains, draperies, tablecloths, etc.), requiring a surface area density of ≤700g/m2, and testing flame propagation and afterburning time.

Other related standards

1. ISO 6940:2004

International standard for evaluating the flammability of textiles in the vertical direction, similar to the test principle of NFPA 701 Method 1 (vertical burning, afterburning time).

2. EN 1103:2005

European standard for the combustion performance test of clothing fabrics, including vertical burning evaluation, suitable for similar scenarios.

3. BS 5438:1989

British standard for testing the flame retardant properties of the bottom and edges of textiles, compatible with the vertical burning test.

4. ASTM D4151

American standard, involving flame retardant testing of carpet fabrics, some methods can be used in conjunction with NFPA 701.

5. NFPA 255 & NFPA 265

NFPA 255: Test of surface burning characteristics of building materials, used to evaluate the flame spread of wall decoration materials.

NFPA 265: Evaluates the contribution of wall fabrics to fire spread, complementary to NFPA 701.
