ASTM D1230 Horizontal Vertical Flammability Tester for Burning Combustibility
The ASTM D1230 Horizontal Vertical Flammability Tester is a dual-orientation laboratory instrument engineered to evaluate the burning combustibility behavior of textiles, films, and related materials. By supporting both horizontal and vertical test configurations in a single unit, it delivers versatile flammability assessment for quality control, material research, and compliance verification against ASTM D1230 and comparable standards.
- Dual test orientation: Switch between horizontal and vertical burning configurations to cover a broader range of material flammability evaluations.
- ASTM D1230 compliance: Designed for standardized burning combustibility testing, supporting repeatable and comparable results.
- Controlled ignition system: Provides consistent flame application for reliable ignition timing and burn-rate measurement.
- Precision timing: Enables accurate recording of flame spread and afterflame duration during each test cycle.
- Robust construction: Industrial-grade chamber and fixtures built for continuous laboratory use and long service life.
- Operator-friendly design: Accessible sample mounting and clear observation of the test chamber for efficient, safe operation.
A specimen is mounted in either the horizontal or vertical position according to the selected test method. A standardized ignition source is applied to the sample for a defined period, and the tester records the flame spread, burning duration, and combustibility characteristics. The resulting data allow operators to classify material flammability performance and verify conformity with ASTM D1230 requirements.
