ISO 6940 Fabrics Vertical Flammability Tester

ISO 6940 Vertical Flammability Testing Equipment For Fabrics Material

Application

Vertical Flammability Tester , to determine the flammability resistance of vertical oriented fabrics, and 45°inclined fabrics material for toys, other material to making toys and soft-filling toy.

The gas is controlled by a solenoid valve, ignition time is digitally set and test result is displayed on large LCD. The improved marker threads mounting devices ensure easy and fast installation, with accurate burner and micro switch operated trip threads. 3 optical scanning devices are used to detect the severance of threads to offer accurate and reliable timing.

How do you test the Flammability of fabric?

In the US flammability test, a standard flame 5/8 of an inch long is lowered onto the fabric specimen, which is from a garment or production fabric, at a 45 angle for one second. This configuration is used to approximate the position of fabric during wearing.
