- Accurate Flammability Evaluation
- The primary function of this tester is to provide a comprehensive
and highly accurate assessment of the flammability of materials in
a horizontal context. By precisely measuring the burning rate, it
determines how quickly a material will succumb to the flames and
propagate the fire horizontally. A lower burning rate is indicative
of a material with better fire resistance, a crucial factor in many
applications. For instance, in the electronics industry, where
circuit boards and plastic housings are commonplace, materials with
slow burning rates can help prevent the rapid spread of fire in the
event of an electrical malfunction, thereby safeguarding both the
device and its users.
- In addition to the burning rate, the tester also measures other key
parameters such as afterflame time and afterglow time. The
afterflame time reveals how long a material continues to burn after
the initial flame source is removed, while the afterglow time
indicates the duration of any residual glowing or smoldering. These
parameters provide valuable insights into the material's propensity
to reignite and its overall fire hazard potential.
- Compliance with Safety Standards and Regulations
- The modern industrial landscape is replete with a complex web of
safety standards and regulations governing material flammability.
