Product Overview

 

According to ISO 9239-1,2 and GB/T 11785-2005, the flooring radiant panel test measures the critical radiant flux of floor coverings under burning conditions in a test chamber and within a specified thermal radiation environment.

 

It can also be used to measure the critical radiant flux of cellulose insulation materials for attic floors.

When a building fire occurs, flames may spread through a compartment or adjacent room, or hot gases may spread over the floor surface, causing radiant heat to accumulate during the early stage of fire growth.

 

Under these conditions, the apparatus can effectively reflect flame spread behaviour of flooring materials in counterflow ventilation conditions.

Test Results

 

  • The critical heat flux (CHF) kW/m2 corresponding to flame spread length can be observed through thermal flow linear velocity testing.
  • If the specimen test time exceeds 30 minutes, the extinguishing time and the fastest flame spread rate can be recorded and then converted into critical heat flux.
