What is the ASTM D1230, FTMS191-5908 45 Degree Automatic Flammability Tester

Time: Author: SKYLINE Editor
45° Automatic Flammability Tester used to determine the burning characteristics of textiles under controlled conditions, the 45°Automatic Flammability Chamber automatically times the flame spread in 0.I second increments from ignition.

The time starts when the flame impinges and stops when the sample's trigger string burns through. The flame burns ata45°angle under controlled flame-impingement at the tip of a stainless steel hypodermic needle with automatic flame impingement times of I,5 or 20 seconds available.
The flame-impingement and sample holder are contained withina stainless steeltesting cabinet with glass observation window.
For added safety, the interior sample mounting rack can be adjusted by the operator from the exterior.

A brushing device to meet the standard requirements for preparing pile fabrics prior to testing is available upon request. Packs of burners and specimen holders are also available.
