Thermal Radiation Flooring Combustion Tester
Application
The Thermal Radiation Flooring Combustion Tester is designed to evaluate the fire performance of floor coverings under radiant heat exposure. It measures the burning behavior, flame spread, and critical radiant flux of various flooring materials, including wood, laminate, vinyl, and composite tiles. This tester is widely used in flooring manufacturing, quality control, certification testing, and fire safety research.

FAQ
What types of flooring materials can be tested?
Suitable for wood, laminate, vinyl, composite tiles, rubber, and other floor covering materials.
How does the test work?
The sample is exposed to a radiant heat source at a specified flux. Burning behavior, flame spread, and critical radiant flux are recorded to evaluate fire performance.
Can the test meet international standards?
Yes, it complies with ISO 9239-1, ISO 9239-2, ASTM E648, ASTM E970, NFPA 253, GB/T 11785, and GB 8624.
What is the required gas for testing?
Propane with a purity of over 95% is used as the fuel for the radiant heat source.
What is the purpose of the control boxes?
Control boxes allow precise monitoring and adjustment of heat flux, flame exposure, and test duration to ensure reproducible and accurate results.
Is the instrument suitable for certification testing?
Yes, it is widely used for compliance testing, certification, and quality control of flooring products.
How large are the test samples?
The chamber is designed to accommodate standard flooring samples typically used in international fire testing standards.
