OSU Rate of Heat Release Apparatus
The OSU Rate of Heat Release Apparatus is widely used in the following areas:
Aerospace Material Testing: Assess heat release, flame spread, and smoke generation of aircraft cabin materials according to FAA, Airbus, and Boeing standards.
Aircraft Interior Compliance: Evaluate materials for FAR Part 25 Appendix F Part IV, ensuring cabin safety during fire scenarios.
Material Research & Development: Determine thermal degradation and combustion characteristics of plastics, composites, and coatings for aerospace applications.
Fire Safety Laboratory Testing: Integrate HRR data with flame spread and smoke density evaluations to support fire safety certification.
Typical test materials include aircraft cabin panels, interior plastics, textiles, laminates, and composite materials.
Standards
The apparatus supports compliance with the following standards:
BSS 7322 – Aerospace materials flame spread, smoke density, and toxicity evaluation.
AITM 2.0006 – Aerospace materials flame spread and smoke generation measurement.
FAR Part 25 Appendix F Part IV – Aircraft cabin material flame spread and smoke toxicity requirements.
GB/T 27904‑2011 – Flame spread performance of interior decoration materials (can be combined with HRR testing).
GB 8624‑2012 – Classification of combustion performance of building materials and products (can be combined with HRR results).
