Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is this equipment used for?

A1: This apparatus determines whether a building material is non-combustible by measuring its reaction when exposed to 750°C in a furnace. Results are used to classify products into Euroclass A1 and A2 fire ratings.

Q2: What standards does it comply with?

A2: It complies with ISO 1182:2020, BS 476-4, EN 13501, and IMO FTPC Part 1. All components meet LST EN ISO 1182:2020 requirements.

Q3: What materials can be tested?

A3: Both uniform and non-uniform building materials, including floorings, can be tested. The apparatus accommodates specimens of Φ45mm × 50±3mm.

Q4: How does the test work?

A4: A prepared specimen is inserted into a furnace stabilized at 750±5°C. The system then monitors furnace temperature rise, mass loss, and ignition over the test duration using three thermocouples.

Q5: What parameters does it measure?

A5: It measures rising furnace temperature, mass loss of the specimen, and whether ignition occurs. The system also tracks specimen center and surface temperatures during testing.

Q6: What industries use this equipment?

B6: Building material manufacturers, construction material testing laboratories, fire safety research institutions, and regulatory compliance agencies use this apparatus for product classification and quality control.
