Introducing the AFC 45° Automatic Flammability Tester
Designed for precision and safety, the AFC 45° Automatic Flammability Tester from SDL Atlas sets the standard in textile flammability testing. This automatic chamber precisely times the flame spread across materials in 0.1-second increments, initiating the moment flames touch the fabric and halting when a sample’s trigger string is consumed. Encased in a robust stainless-steel cabinet with a clear glass observation window, it ensures user safety while providing clear visibility of the testing process.
Employing controlled flame-impingement, the tester operates at a 45° angle, utilizing a stainless steel hypodermic needle for precise flame application. This meticulous design feature guarantees consistent testing conditions across experiments. Additionally, the tester’s interior sample mounting rack can be externally adjusted, enhancing the user experience by simplifying the preparation process.
For organizations seeking to meet rigorous textile flammability standards, this tester is an indispensable asset. It not only adheres to stringent safety protocols but also offers an optional brushing device for preparing pile fabrics, aligning with standard requirements before testing.
