ISO 5657 Radiant Heat Source Ignitability of Building Products Testing Equipment

Introduction:

The Apparatus has been designed, principally for testing building materials and composites, but it is capable of testing any sample of size 165mm x 165mm and up to a maximum of 70mm thick, and measures the ignition characteristics of exposed surfaces of essentially flat materials and specimens.

Standards:

- ISO 5657

Features:

- The sample orientation is horizontal.
- Instrument fitted with pilot flame with provision for re-ignition, if flame self-extinguishes.
- Apparatus is equipped with a mechanism to bring the pilot flame into the correct position above the plane of sample every 4 seconds (for - intermittent flaming exposure).

- Irradiation levels range between 10 & 50 kW/m2, using a conical radiant heater.
- Conical furnace is controlled by 3 term temperature controller.
- Temperature indicator and over temperature device, for operator safety.
- Separate support frame and control unit
- Instrument supplied complete with heat flux meter.
