Radiant heat drop tester
The tester is used for evaluating the combustion behavior of automotive interior components including dashboards, trim panels, door panels, seat fabrics, roof headliners, insulation layers, polymer sheets, composite interior panels, and textile coverings. It measures melting tendency, droplet formation, fiber ignition, and secondary combustion under radiant heat exposure, supporting material qualification and compliance with automotive fire-safety regulations.
Standards
ECE R118 Appendix 7 – Burning behavior of materials used in vehicle interiors
Features
(1) Designed specifically for ECE R118 Appendix 7 testing, offering precise simulation of radiant heat exposure and droplet behavior in automotive fire scenarios
(2) Stable radiant heating system ensures uniform energy distribution, improving reproducibility across repeated tests
(3) Sample holder structure minimizes operator error and ensures consistent specimen positioning under radiation
(4) Optimized optical and physical layout provides unobstructed observation of melting, dripping, and ignition phenomena
(5) Control module integrates power regulation, timing, and safety interlocks, preventing overheating and incorrect operation
(6) Fast system warm-up and steady-state radiation enable high laboratory throughput and efficient testing cycles
(7) Mechanical design supports smooth movement of the radiation bracket, allowing quick switching between loading and testing positions
(8) High-temperature-resistant materials and corrosion-proof stainless steel ensure long service life in continuous testing environments
(9) Easy-clean structure reduces residue buildup and maintains consistent test conditions
(10) Compact installation footprint makes the system suitable for automotive interior material labs, quality inspection centers, and R&D departments
