K.V.S. Digital Flammability Tester
 

Application Field :
The Fabric of a specified length is exposed to Flame for a specified time and then it is analyzed for Flammability Test.

Scope :
The Test method covers the evaluation of the Flammability of Textile Fabrics as they reach the consumer for or from apparel other than children's sleepwear or protective clothing.

The standard should be used to measure and describe the properties of materials, products, or assemblies in response to heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions and should not be used to describe or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions. However, results of this Test may be used as elements of a fire-risks assessment, which takes into, account all of the factors, which are pertinent to an assessment of the fire hazard of a particular end use.

The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard; inch-pound units are provided for information only.

INTRODUCTION :
In the Digital Flammability Tester, the Fabric is kept at 45° Angle in a specimen holder. It is then exposed to the flame of specified length from 90° Angle for 1 second, and is left for burning. The time taken to burn the Fabric is automatically recorded no a Digital Electronic Timer. Then the grading of the Fabric for Flammability is done as per the standards of ASTMD 1230.
