Professional Combustion Testing Tool: ISO 5657 Building Materials Ignitability Flammability Tester

In the fields of building materials, rail transit, shipbuilding and other fields, the fire performance of materials is directly related to the safety of people's lives and property. As the key index of fire safety assessment, the combustibility of materials is particularly important to test accurately and standardly.

Today, we present an ISO 5657 building materials ignitability flammability tester, independently developed and manufactured by the Skyline team.

Combustibility is defined as the ability of a material to be ignited by a radiant heat source, one of the first combustion characteristics to be displayed by a material, and should be the focus of any fire hazard assessment.

The ISO5657 test standard specifies a set of scientific and rigorous combustion test methods, mainly used to measure the combustion characteristics of building materials or basically flat materials installed horizontally.

• Building materials: Various wall, ceiling and floor materials
• Synthetic materials: various composite flat panel materials
• Other flat materials: any basic flat materials and samples

The ISO 5657 building materials ignitability flammability tester consists of a support frame that horizontally clamps the test sample between pressure plates, exposing a defined area of the sample's upper surface to radiation.

The radiation of the tester is provided by a heat dissipation cone located above and supported by the sample support frame, and the test flame is applied through the heat dissipation cone to the position above the center of the sample surface using an automatic ignition flame application mechanism.

During testing, the sample is positioned accurately on the sample support frame pressure plate using the sample insertion and positioning tray, and the sample surface is shielded using the shield plate when the sample is inserted into the instrument.

As a key equipment for evaluating the fire performance of materials, ISO 5657 building materials ignitability flammability tester plays an irreplaceable role in ensuring building safety and product compliance. By accurately measuring the combustibility of materials, it not only provides a scientific basis for the product development of enterprises, but also builds a solid defense line for public safety.
