Multi-purpose Textile Flammability Tester TF319

The Significance of Testing Fire Resistance of Fabrics

In order to reduce fire accidents caused by textiles, it is necessary to study the flammability of textiles. At present, flammability testing labs have been set up in various countries around the world to study the flammability of textiles, and the flammability test procedure and testing standards of fabrics have been formulated.

Testing Method for Fire Resistance of Textiles

Because of different requirements for flammability of materials in different industries, different materials and even different countries, flammability testing methods are varied. Taking ISO 15025 standard as an example, this paper introduces the testing method of fabric fire resistance.

This standard can be used to test the flammability of vertical textiles and component edges and bottom edges, as well as the flame-retardant properties of pajamas fabric and fabric combination, curtain and curtain, protective clothing fabric. It meets the requirements of many domestic and foreign testing standards. The vertical fabric surface or bottom edge is burned by a specified flame in a particular burner. Record flame spread and smoldering and debris, burning debris information. Record residual flame and smoldering time.

Instrument Principle

The instrument consists of two parts: the base and the specimen fixing frame. Clamp the specimen on the fixed frame, and keep the sample at a certain distance from the surface of the fixed frame, so as to avoid the influence of the fixed frame on the burning of the specimen. When the flame nozzle touches the surface or the lower edge of the specimen for a certain time, move away from the nozzle, observe the combustion of the sample, and record the relevant data, which provides a reference for judging the ignition performance of the sample.

Testing Procedure

1 Connect the power to the machine, connect the gas, and turn on the power switch. Enter the test system interface and set the parameters.

2 Select the Trip thread number: Click it to select the test Trip thread number. Click on the red area of the blow-molding image to set the tester’s ignition time and burner moving speed.

3 Confirm position sample burn place(the burner’s ignite place), please click the “Confirm position” on a screen when the burner moves to touch the sample.

4 Use the measure gauge to set the burn point, then remove the fire measure gauge.

5 After selecting the flame position, click the “Gas” knob, wait a moment, and then click the “Ignite”. Use the blow gauge to measure the distance between the flame and the sample.

6 Move the flame to the test position, ignite the sample, and record the burning time date according to the flame burning condition.

7 Click “Result” to check the testing after testing finished if the sample can be burned.
