The Surface Flame Spread Test Apparatus is a high-precision instrument designed for evaluating the lateral flame propagation of materials. It is primarily used in compliance with BS 6853 series railway fire safety standards and BS 476-7 for building materials. This apparatus enables you to determine flame spread ratings based on flame extension length and propagation speed. With an advanced water-cooled sample holder, calibrated radiation panel, and digital flux sensors, you can perform controlled laboratory tests on wall, ceiling, and surface materials to ensure compliance with international fire safety regulations.
Application
The Surface Flame Spread Test Apparatus is suitable for a wide range of applications:
Building Materials Testing: Evaluate flame spread on wall and ceiling surfaces according to BS 476-7.
Railway Vehicle Materials: Conduct fire resistance and smoke toxicity evaluations in accordance with BS 6853.
Interior Materials: Assess flame spread for plastics, composites, and surface coatings using ISO 5658-1/2 and ASTM E162 standards.
Laboratory Research: Determine critical heat flux, lateral flame extension, and flame propagation characteristics under controlled conditions.
Recommended test products include wall panels, ceiling boards, interior panels, decorative laminates, plastics, and other surface materials used in public or transport environments.
