Flame Resistance
Flame Test Manikins
Burnie/Burnadette
The advanced Flame Test Manikin features a fully articulated, non-degrading, ceramic-composite body form with integrated sensors, control electronics, computational burn model and computer as a complete turn-key package, allowing the operator to characterize the performance of garments or protective clothing ensembles in a simulated flash fire environment having controlled heat flux, flame distribution, and duration.
Flash Fire Cylinder/Hand (FFC/FFH)
The Flash Fire Cylinder (FFC) provides an accurate and repeatable tool to quantify effects of FR fabric performance (including shrinkage and shape change) that may not be realistically represented with TPP results. By exposing a cylindrical sample to a uniform high intensity flame, the heat-transfer impacts of material shrinkage and compression can be observed visually and objectively as a predicted time-to-burn.
Modular Burn Chamber
Modular burn chambers are available for the Flame Test Manikin and Hand – each chamber features fire-proof construction, a computer controlled gas delivery and burner network, as well as ventilation, fire suppression, and safety systems.
Chamber designs include viewing windows and access doors. A video monitoring system is also available for safety and visual documentation of flame and garment response.
