How To Conduct ASTM D6413 Vertical Flammability Test

ASTM D6413 Vertical Flammability Test Chamber GT-C35A To measuring the vertical flame spread for children's sleepwear, fabrics, other textile materials or resilient filling materials used in upholstered furniture of textiles.


Different accessories,burners and configurations are required for different standards. Please specify standards(s) required.


Textile Flammability Testing Principle


Vertical Flame Test Chamber‎ Under controlled laboratory conditions, material response to heat and flame is measured and described. A test specimen is positioned vertically above a controlled flame and exposed for a specified period of time. Following exposure, the flame source is removed. Measurements are made on the length of time that the specimen continues to flame and the time afterglow continues after the flame source has been removed. Char length, or visible damage to the test specimen after application of a specified tearing force, is determined. Notations on observations of melting and dripping are also recorded.


Fabric Flammability Test Feature


1. Stainless steel test cabinet with glass observation panel , durable and easy maintenance.


2. 3 time recorders, one record firing time, one record after flame time and the other one record afterglow time(accuracy 0.01s).


3. Control cabinet and burning box separate design which is safe and reliable.


Flammability Testing Test Steps


1. Put the prepared sample into the fixture and hang it in the Vertical Flammability Testing Chamber.


2. Turn on the power of the device.


3. Select the language to enter the test interface.


4. Click the "Positive" button in the test interface tolet the burner run directly below the sample.


5. Use flame measuring scale to measure the distance betweenthe burner and the sample and adjust the position of the sample.


6. After adjustment, click"Rst", turn the burner back to initial position.



7. Set Flame Application time on test Interface, turn on the air source, click"AirSource", click"Ignition"(Initial ignite need to wait a while)


8. Turn the gas knob to adjust the flame size.


9. After the flame adjustment is complete, click Start.According to the burning state ofthe sample, click the "Afterflame time" button and "Aftergow time" button respectively.


10. After the combustion is completed, remove the sample.


11. Select the corresponding weight according to the sample,hang it on the sample to straighten the sample, and measurethe burning distance of the sample with a measuring ruler.

How to Hang a Suspended Ceiling From Steel Beams

The suspended ceiling hangs under the roof or floor structure above, hiding ugly mechanical and electrical equipment from the view, while also allowing you to easily reach these equipment as needed.While wooden frames usually support such ceilings, in rooms where metal frames are used instead of traditional wood, you can also hang ceilings from steel beams.Hanging the ceiling from the beam requires you to use a special clip to connect the support line to the beam without compromising its structural integrity.Measure 4 inch down from the bottom of the lowest beam, pipe or pipe in the ceiling space.If you plan to use panel fluorescent lamps in your ceiling, add an additional 2 inch to this measurement.Make a mark on the wall indicating the location of the facade.Set up a laser level to extend the mark you made on the wall to the entire wall length.Draw a chalk line on the wall to mark the position.Mark all four walls repeatedly with chalk lines indicating the height of the ceiling.Instal

Importance of Calibration Service, Material Testing

When it comes to Calibration services, genuine service providers offer full recall system and data sheets for all items calibrated. Service needs to be instrument specific. With the advent of technology, Calibration service has seen a tremendous change and has gone through various phases to get the top quality. Calibration is a great deal for industrial purpose. It makes sure that products are manufactured as per specification. It also checks the competence level of technically valid results. The calibrated measuring instrument helps in checking the quality and valuation of the product. In cases of electronic equipment, it is essential to calibrate instruments to keep a check on quality and performance. Calibration facilitates in improving measurement abilities. Calibration service can be manual or automated.  textile testing equipment manufacturers Material Testing machines are available for a wide variety of industries including materials testers for plastics, textiles, adhesives, fi

Level Measurement Solutions

Makeup water treatment is an important component of steam generation. It is the means to resupply the system with water suitable for boiler and other operations that, was lost in the cycle.The steam generation cycle, level control for the water treatment process is not necessarily about efficiency, but rather, accuracy, reliability and safety, while providing proper inventory management to ensure chemical and makeup water supply meets demand. The focus is on the chemical component of the makeup water treatment since it presents difficulties for level technologies that may work perfectly on non-chemical applications related to the water treatment process or those with limited variations in the contents of the vessel's vapor space. Although important measurements such as ammonia, acid, caustic and other chemical storage tanks are not difficult level applications by any stretch, small nuances in how the vessels are monitored relative to level technology can have a dramatic effect on t
