ZY6014I-VSB Textile Flame Spread Tester

Product Introduction
The ZY6014I-VSB Textile Flame Spread Tester is designed to evaluate the flame propagation performance of textiles and industrial textile products, including single-component and multi-component materials, coated fabrics, quilted textiles, multilayer fabrics, and composite structures.
The tester applies a controlled flame to the surface or bottom edge of a vertically mounted specimen for 10 seconds. It measures the time required for the flame to reach three marked positions, providing essential data for assessing textile flammability and flame spread characteristics. The instrument features automatic high-voltage ignition, adjustable burner angles, and independent timing for accurate and repeatable testing.

Performance Features
• Wide Material Compatibility: Suitable for single-layer, coated, quilted, multilayer, and composite textile materials.
• Three-Point Flame Timing: Independently records flame propagation times at three marked positions.
• Automatic Timing: Each timer stops automatically when the corresponding marker thread burns through.
• Adjustable Burner Angle: Supports 0°, 30°, and 90° angles relative to the specimen surface.
• Automatic Ignition: Uses a high-voltage electronic ignition system for convenient operation.
• Automatic Burner Movement: The igniter moves automatically, with manual adjustment of the burner angle.
• Precision Timing: Offers 0.1-second timing accuracy and 0.01-second resolution.

Working Principle
The test specimen is mounted vertically in the specimen holder. A burner meeting the requirements of GB/T 5456-2009 Appendix A applies a flame to the specimen surface or bottom edge for 10 seconds.
As the flame spreads upward, it burns through marker threads positioned at three specified locations. The timing system records the flame propagation time at each position and automatically stops the corresponding timer when the marker thread breaks. The resulting T1, T2, and T3 measurements are used to evaluate the flame spread behavior of the tested textile.
