ASTM E662 NES 711 Flammability NBS Smoke Density Chamber Test For Plastic

ISO 5659-2 ASTM E662 Flammability NBS Smoke Density Test Chamber For Plastic

NBS Smoke Density Test Chamber Introduction:

The plastic smoke density test system is developed in strict accordance with the ISO 5659 international standard. It can work with a conical radiation heating furnace to achieve precise adjustment of the thermal radiation intensity in a wide range of 10-70 kW/m² to meet the needs of different test scenarios. The system adopts a horizontal sample fixing method, which supports the accurate determination of the material mass loss rate under the condition of a high heat flux of 50 kW/m², which fully complies with the latest IMO fire protection test specifications. Through this device, the optical density of smoke generated when the sample is subjected to vertical exposure with or without ignition flame in a closed test chamber at a standard radiation intensity of 25 kW/m² can be quantitatively evaluated. The specially equipped conical radiation source supports users to make stepless adjustments between the basic value of 10 kW/m² and the limit value of 70 kW/m² according to experimental needs, providing a standardized test platform for the study of fire protection properties of polymer materials in the fields of ships, rail transit, etc.
