Radiant Panel Flame Spread Apparatus ASTM E162 FTT

The Radiant Panel Flame Spread Apparatus measures the surface flammability of building products (ASTM E 162) and cellular plastics (ASTM D 3675) by using a gas-fired radiant heat panel. The test result is an index that is determined from the flame spread and heat evolution factors. This index is required in various specifications especially for the mass transit industry (buses and trains).

The FTT Radiant Panel Flame Spread Apparatus is supplied as a complete easy-to-use system. Features include:


Fire Testing Technology: ASTM E 162 - ASTM D 3675Porous cement and cast iron gas operated radiant panel (12" x 18") with electric spark igniter and automatic safety flame out detector
Stainless steel specimen holder, with observation marks every 3", for assessing the progress of the flame front
Stainless steel specimen support
Stainless steel pilot burner assembly
Pyrometer to determine the surface temperature of the radiant panel. Mounting bracket included
Air flow meter and gas control valve to control the mixture to the radiant panel
Stainless steel exhaust stack with a removable panel to enable easy cleaning of thermocouples
The stack is provided with 8 thermocouples as required by the standards
Calibration burner with methane gas flow meter
Safety gas controls and cut off circuitry
