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.
