Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is this equipment used for?
A1: It measures the critical radiant flux of floor-covering systems and the smoke density of flooring materials, helping determine how far and fast flames spread under radiant heat.
Q2: What standards does it comply with?
A2: It complies with ISO 9239-1/2, ASTM E648, ASTM E970, and NFPA 253 for flooring and insulation flammability testing.
Q3: What materials can be tested with this apparatus?
A3: It is designed for floor coverings (carpets, resilient flooring, laminates) and attic floor insulation materials.
Q4: How does the ignition system work?
A4: The T-shaped porous burner features an auto-ignition system and automatic push mechanism, ensuring consistent, safe, and hands-free specimen ignition.
Q5: Does it require a continuous water supply for cooling?
A5: No, the heat flux meter includes a portable water cooling system, so no external running water supply is needed.
Q6: Can it measure smoke density as well?
A6: Yes, an optional smoke density testing system with a 2900 ± 100 K optical system can be integrated to measure total smoke production.
