The 45 Degree Flammability Testeris a common instrument for testing the flammability of fabrics

For the 500W flame test, according to UL94, it is divided into the flammability test for strip specimens and the flammability test for plate specimens.

1. Strip specimen flammability test vertical specimens

The size of the specimen (125mm±5mm) x (13mm_-4-0.5ram) x thickness (usually the smaller thickness required, the thicker cannot exceed t3mm).

The ring specimen holder was clamped to the specimen at 6mm, a cotton pad with an area of 50mm x 50mm was placed horizontally under the specimen, the distance between the lower end of the specimen and the cotton pad was 300mm ± 10mm, the angle between the axis of this Bunsen burner lamp and the vertical direction was 20±5° degrees, and a flame burning was applied to the specimen five times at 5s ± 0.1s each time and at 5s ± 0.1s intervals. According to the regulations according to GB/T, if during the course of the test the strip test sample has drips, curls and elongation, the position of the torch should be adjusted so that the conical term of the blue conical flame centre just touches the remaining part of the sample, which requires the Bunsen burner to be able to be moved in the vertical plane during the experiment without affecting the internal environment of the test chamber. The torch should be removed immediately after each application of flame so as not to interfere with the continued ignition of the specimen.
