Fabric Flame Retardant Tester
Category：Flammability Tester
Introduction
A method is used to determine the damaged area and the length of the damage when the textiles and other materials are burned at 45 °, and the B method is used to determine the number of times the textile contacts the flame at a 45 ° state with hot melt to a specified length.
The Fabric Flame Retardant Tester is an essential instrument for evaluating the flammability of textiles, ensuring they meet safety regulations. This tester measures a fabric’s resistance to ignition and its burning behavior, including flame spread rate and after-flame time, when exposed to a controlled flame. It is crucial for quality control in industries like apparel, home textiles, automotive, and aerospace, where fabric flammability is a significant safety concern. By adhering to standards such as GB/T14644 and ASTM D1230. manufacturers can use this tester to assess the effectiveness of flame-retardant treatments and ensure their products offer the required level of fire safety to consumers.
