Efficient Cooling System

Portable water-circulation cooling unit effectively removes heat from the heat flux sensor, maintaining measurement stability.

Video Monitoring and Data Recording

Integrated camera monitors the entire test process and stores measurement status for traceability.

Automated Control System

Standard testing software enables automated operation, minimizing operator influence and improving test repeatability.

High-Precision Radiant Heat Flux Measurement

Built-in water-cooled radiant heat flux sensor accurately records radiant heat distribution curves.

User-Friendly Operation

Adjustable observation window allows clear visual monitoring of flame spread, combined with a foot switch for automatic data recording.

Accessories

(1) Methane gas cylinder (user supplied, purity ≥95%)

(2) Propane gas cylinder (user supplied)

(3) Mass flow controller set

(4) Water-cooling circulation unit

(5) Ceramic tube burner

(6) Thermocouple set

(7) Glass observation window with foot switch

Test Procedures

Install the test specimen securely onto the specimen holder in a vertical position.

Select the appropriate combustion gas and set the required gas flow rate.

Start the system and verify the operational status of sensors and gas components.

Initiate the flame spread test; the system applies radiant heat and pilot flame automatically.

The software records flame spread rate, ignition heat, heat release, and related parameters.

After completion, shut off the gas supply and clean the test area in preparation for the next test.

Maintenance Information

Regularly inspect gas pipelines, valves, and flow controllers for leakage or blockage.

Clean the radiant panel surface and observation window to maintain measurement accuracy.

Ensure the water-cooling system operates properly and replace coolant as required.

Calibrate heat flux sensors and thermocouples periodically according to standard procedures.

Store the apparatus in a dry, well-ventilated environment when not in use.

Conclusion

The GB/T 28752 IMO Heat Radiation Flame Spread Test Apparatus provides reliable and standardized evaluation of flame spread and heat release characteristics for materials used in construction, transportation, and marine industries. With precise gas control, automated testing, and comprehensive data acquisition, the system supports accurate fire performance assessment and regulatory compliance across multiple application fields.
