Radiant Panel Flame Spread Tester, ASTM E162

The radiant panel flame Spread tester tests the surface flammability of building materials (ASTM E162) and Styrofoam (ASTM D3675) using a gas thermal radiant panel.

The test results are flame spread index, which is determined by flame spread and heat emission. The index is a required parameter in many industry specifications, especially in the public transport (train and bus) industry.

1. Porous ceramic gas radiant plate is 12*18in (305*457mm), silicon carbide igniter ignition;

2. Stainless steel sample fixing frame, with observation point every 3 inches, used to observe the flame front spread;

3. Stainless steel sample holder;

4. Stainless steel ignition device;

5. Pyrometer, measuring the surface temperature of radiation plate, including bracket;

6. Airflow meter, gas control valve, control into the radiation plate gas mixing;

7. Use mass flow controller to adjust methane flow calibration;

8. Stainless steel exhaust pipe with detachable panel for easy cleaning of thermocouple;

9. Exhaust pipe is equipped with 8 thermocouples according to the standard;

10. Verified burner with methane gas flow meter;

11. Gas safety control and circuit cutting device;

12. The blower provides air, the gas volume is stable, Venturi mixed gas and air into the combustion chamber;

13. Adopt analog input module to collect voltage signal of thermocouple;

14. Communication between computer and acquisition module, signal processing.
