DX8298 BS476-6 Building Materials And Structures Fire Propagation Index Tester

Product Overview:

1. BS 476-6 is a test method for measuring the flame propagation characteristics of materials, mainly used to evaluate the fire resistance performance of walls and ceilings, and provides test results. As an indicator of flame propagation.

2. During the experiment, the sample was exposed to a tubular torch with a heat release of 530 J/S. During the experiment, the sample was exposed to a tubular torch with a heat release of 530 J/S. After 5 minutes of testing, the power was reduced to 1500 W and the power was not changed until the experiment was completed. The total testing time was 20 minutes.

3. In order to evaluate the flame propagation characteristics of the materials tested in BS476-6, thermocouples continuously recorded the chimney temperature and room temperature difference, and compared them with the calibration curve. The calibration curve was measured using the same method based on the specified density of asbestos cement board.

4. The temperature difference values of two curves measured simultaneously were compared. Take the temperature difference value every 30 seconds during the first three minutes of the test, and every minute for the next 4-10 minutes. In the last 11-20 minutes, the temperature difference value was taken every two minutes, and the flame diffusion index for these three stages was calculated according to the formula.

5. I is the sum of the three flame spread indices. The higher the value of I, the lower the flame retardant of the material. For grade 0 materials, I ≤ 12
