5KW Building Materials Surface Burning Characteristics Testing Equipment
Application:
This method is applicable to determine surface burning characteristics of building materials and
flame propagation rate of exposed surfaces such as walls and ceilings (including solid plastics),
at the same time measure smoke density.
This test method applies to the exposed surface which includes ceiling or walls, provided that the
materials or the whole assembly, with its own structural quality or the aspect in which is tested
and intended to use is able to support itself in position or being supported during the period of
test. The method is used to determine the corresponding burning behavior of the material by
observing the flame spread along the test specimen. Reports are made for the flame spread and
smoke density developed and it is not necessarily a relationship between the two
measurements.

1. Measure flame propagation speed is based on the time of flame through the window to
estimate after lit sample, get flame propagation speed curve, which method is to draw the
distance and time flame propagation through window. The equipment should be calibrated firstly
when do test, and then do two preliminary tests. The first preliminary test is to detect red oak
specimen, artificially set its flame propagation and smoke generation as 100(this method also
measures material’s smoke generation). The second preliminary test is to detect asbestos
cement specimen, set its above two values as 0. Then determine specimen smoke and flame
propagation velocity curve, calculate flam spread index (FSI), the method is: if this total area is
less than or equal to 29.7m·min, that is FSI=0.515AT; if the total area is greater than 29.7m·min,
that is FSI=4900／(195-AT).
2. The flame propagation rate of various unprocessed wood is 60 to 230, the smoke generated is
also measured during combustion, and its rank is divided in the same range.
3. The FSI value of the material measured with tunnel method is between 0 and 200, the smaller
the FSI value is, the less the fire risk is. The high buildings and corridor, should use FSI<25
material, 25<FSI<100 material only could be used for fire requirement not very strict, while
FSI>100 material don’t meet the requirement of flame retardant.
4. Class A is 0-25, Class B is 26-75, Class C is 76-200, the sample that smoke index less than
450and flame spread rate curve, then calculate flame spread index(FSI) of the sample, the
method is: if this total area is less than or equal to 29.7m·min, that is FSI=0.515AT; if the total
area is greater than 29.7m·min, that is FSI=4900／(195-AT).
Procedure:

B. Measure the flame spread distance on the first 1.5 minute
C. Measure the flame spread distance during all the test (10 minutes)
D. Measure the flame spread max distance and time
