Building Material Flammability Test Furnace with Touch Screen Control
SL-FL13 Single Burning Item
Provide accurate and reliable data support for the testing of the combustion properties of your materials.
Product Overview
SL-FL13 Single Burning Item strictly complies with GB/T 20284‑2006 and BS EN 13823, along with other internationally recognised test standards. It is ideally suited for fire performance classification testing and R&D of building materials, decorative materials, and thermal insulation products. The apparatus features a double‑vertical specimen trolley configuration equipped with a propane sandbox burner, and integrates high‑precision heat release and smoke production rate measurement, UV flame‑out protection, and fully automatic intelligent control.
This helps you accurately assess the fire reaction characteristics of your products, successfully pass the GB/T 8624 fire classification certification, and accelerate your product’s time to market.
