Comparative Testing of Flame Retardancy Rate and Resistance in Automotive and Aerospace Interior Textiles

The Horizontal Flame Retardancy Testing Device was developed to compare the flammability rates and flame resistance of textile products used in interior applications, particularly in the automotive and aerospace industries . Thanks to its fully compliant testing structure, the device provides reliable results in quality control and R&D studies.

Design and Components

• Stainless Steel Cabinet – Durable and long-lasting use.
• Observation Window – Provides a secure way to monitor the testing process.
• Sample Holder – Suitable for placing standard-sized samples.
• Burner – Precise and controlled flame application.

Test Function

The sample is placed horizontally in the holder inside the device and ignited with a burner as defined in the standards. During the test, the flame propagation speed , burning time , and flame resistance are measured and recorded. This method helps to evaluate the material's fire resistance performance and its compliance with international safety standards.
