Working Principle

The Horizontal and Vertical Flame Tester evaluates the flammability of materials by exposing standardized test specimens to a controlled flame under specified conditions.
The specimen is mounted horizontally or vertically according to the selected testing method. A calibrated burner applies the flame for a predetermined duration. The system automatically records critical parameters, including:
- Flame Application Time
- Afterflame Time
- Afterglow Time
- Burning Rate
- Dripping Behavior
- Specimen Damage Length
- Flammability Classification (HB, V-0, V-1, V-2)
The software analyzes the collected data and generates detailed test reports for product certification and quality control.
