Radiant Panel Flame Spread Apparatus

ASTM E 162 - ASTM D 3675
The Radiant Panel Flame Spread Apparatus measures the surface flammability of building products (ASTM E 162) and cellular plastics (ASTM D 3675) by using a gas-fired radiant heat panel. The test result is an index that is determined from the flame spread and heat evolution factors. This index is required in various specifications especially for the mass transit industry (buses and trains).

Combustion Toxicity Test Apparatus

ASTM E 1678 - NFPA 269
This instrument (NIBS) uses radiant heat with spark ignition to combust a sample of material and helps to characterise the product by measuring ease of ignition (time), rate of smoke generation (mass loss) and toxicity (gas analysis). These are essential parameters in the evaluation of the potential fire hazard of products.Future possibility of being up-graded with additional instrumentation to monitor corrosivity.

ISO 1716 Bomb Calorimeter

ISO 1716 - EN ISO 1716
The FTT Oxygen Bomb Calorimeter can be used to measure the heat generated from several applications and has been designed to conform to current ASTM, ISO, EN, BS and DIN international standards. The calorific value of the following groups of materials can be measured: -

Cone Calorimeter

ISO 5660 - ASTM E 1354 - ASTM E 1474 - ASTM E 1740 - ASTM F 1550 - ASTM D 6113 - NFPA 264 - CAN ULC 135 - BS 476
The Cone Calorimeter is the most significant bench scale instrument in the field of fire testing.The FTT Cone Calorimeter has been produced to meet all existing Standards (including ISO 5660, ASTM E 1354, ASTM E 1474, ASTM E 1740, ASTM F 1550, ASTM D 6113, NFPA 264, CAN ULC 135 and BS 476 Part 15) and can also be purchased in modular form so that those laboratories with particular interests such as heat release, mass loss, smoke production, etc. can initially purchase the sections they require and later add further instrumentation into the same cabinets in order to complete a full specification instrument. This is just one of the advantages of the FTT Cone Calorimeter.

Enclosed (Vitiated) Mass Loss Calorimeter

The fire model of the Cone Calorimeter has long been seen as one of the best to be developed and has given good correlations with product tests. Toxicologists have shown some concern over this model's ability to replicate the vitiated oxygen environments found in large, fully developed fires, such as those in which large numbers of lethalities have occurred. FTT have developed their Mass Loss Calorimeter (MLC) so that it can model these vitiatedenvironments for smoke toxicity studies. The unit can also be used to analyse other properties of combustion products both at ambient and vitiated oxygen levels
