Flooring Radiant Panel Test Apparatus

Critical Radiant Flux is the main parameters of the fire risk for flooring materials, it reflects the burning and spreading ability of flooring material specimen under external heat radiation conditions. It is an important index of combustion classification for building products.

According to ISO9239-1,2 and GB/T 11785-2005 requirements, Flooring Radiant Panel Test Apparatus is measuring the critical radiant of combustion floor coverings, through the radiation environment of the test chamber. It is can also be used to measure the critical radiation of the cellulose insulation floor material.

Specimen is located at the down horizon of 30 degrees sloped gas radiation panel per horizon surface.

Pilot flame as ignition resource put a part edge of the specimen on the high-temperature side.

This equipment record ignition time by spark, moving time which flames horizontal pass by a specimen of length.

4. The calorimeter is imported from the United States, range 50kW/m².

5. Radiant chamber had a stop of 30±1degree per horizon panel and can be resisted up to 900-degree centigrade. It also should be included in the safety-blocking function.

6. The radiation source is a porous ceramic heat radiating plate of 300mm*450mm and tilted 30 °.

7. Pilot burner should be stationed equally as 0.7mm diameter and 19/EA produced a slop of 60 degrees per centre line bottom.

8. Air velocity of exhaust stack should be attached an exhauster as 2.5±0.2 m/s.

9. It should be used a radiation pyrometer which can be monitor 250mm diameter from about 1.4 meters and has ±5 degree centigrade sod ml accessory with 480ºC to 530ºC (black body temperature) range for adjustment the surface quality of heat of radiant panel.

10. It can be measured hat flow within tolerance from radiant heat panel to 110mm to 910mm at 100mm intervals.

11. It can be adjusting the flame length of 60mm to 120mm on Pilot burner flame.

12. It can b adjust the limited temperature (900ºC) of backside panel according to air flow condition of the radiation heat panel.

13. Inlet flows control valve, precise control of propane flow.
