The single or multi-layered composite materials used in fabricating the interior accessories of Automotives like the seat back, seat cushion, seat belt, seat cover, arm rest, head rest, movable convertible top, inclusive of all decorative panels like side panels, door inner panel, dome panel, rear panel, dashboard, parcel shelf or interior rack panel, floor, curtain, covering, or any internal organic material including shock absorbing fillings in collisions and buffering devices. All these materials are subject to fading, deformation, becoming brittle and can also catch fire when exposed in open to heat, flame, or sunlight or any other lighting because of its low resistance to burning.
The burning resistance of the decorative accessories used in the interior when the vehicle catches fire is a major concern regarding the safety of the passengers. This question of life and death involves complete damage. Hence, to enhance the quality of existing material or to select the best material with flammability resistance is an important issue to consider.
As per the demands of quality-conscious customers, manufacturers are pushed to produce and evaluate the burning resistance of sample through flammability test. Many materials exhibit special status, odors in burning, flame colors, from which one can determine the best composition. Some burning resistance plastic products like conveyor belts also require flammability test to analyze its burning strength. The obtained data can be used further for selecting new materials and to enhance the quality of existing ones and to evaluate suitable applications of materials with different properties.
Fire Resistance Test and Flammability Tester
Whether testing, industrial equipment or running tests for research and development, manufacturers are keen to meet the requirements of different customers by manufacturing best testing machines. Moreover, complete testing facilities to test the fire or flammability resistance of products ranging from textiles or fabrics to Automotives, floor assemblies to penetration seals and fire doors. These flammability tests are performed with the help of testing instruments which strictly adheres to some national and international standards.
The testing procedure is carried out in a combustion cabinet made up of stainless steel with the measurement 381 mm length, 203 mm width and 356 mm height. The instrument incorporates holes at the bottom to permit air ingression along with a ventilated clearance at the top. The device is also equipped with a glass window that helps the users to observe the development of any ignition after placing the sample inside the cabinet. The sample is placed horizontally in a U- shaped specimen holder. Make sure that the end of the specimen is situated above the Bunsen burner that shows that the free end of the test sample is exposed to the small natural gas flame that is kept under test.
Analysis of the burning sample is completed when the flame inside the chamber either put out or complete its travel to the last measuring point. Now the burning rate can be measured easily.
For standard applications, a burn rate less than 100mm per minute is acceptable, but some vehicle manufacturers have stiffened the needs to specify slower burn rate. The test with flammability tester offers highly accurate and reliable results and take flammability consideration.
