Single-Flame Source Test Apparatus
Model Number: MTFT-05
The Single-Flame Source Test Apparatus from Micro Technologies is a specialized fire-testing system designed to evaluate the ignitability and flame-spread behaviour of materials when directly exposed to a small flame. The equipment is suitable for testing building and construction products under controlled laboratory conditions and can be configured for testing in accordance with ISO 11925-2 requirements.
Product Specification
The Single-Flame Source Test Apparatus from Micro Technologies is designed for controlled laboratory assessment of material response to direct exposure from a small flame. It provides a standardized test environment for investigating the initial stages of ignition and flame propagation.
During testing, a prepared specimen is positioned inside the enclosed test chamber and subjected to a defined flame from a suitable burner. The controlled arrangement allows the material's reaction to the ignition source to be observed over a specified exposure period.
The apparatus is particularly useful for assessing ignitability and vertical flame spread. Observations can be made regarding whether ignition occurs, how the flame develops after exposure, and the extent to which the flame spreads along the specimen under the prescribed conditions.
Depending on the applicable procedure, the flame can be applied to an appropriate location on the specimen. Accurate positioning of the specimen and burner helps maintain consistent test conditions and improves repeatability between tests.
The enclosed chamber helps protect the test area from uncontrolled external air movement while providing clear access and visibility for specimen preparation, ignition, observation, and post-test evaluation.
The equipment can be configured for testing according to ISO 11925-2, which addresses the ignitability of products subjected to direct impingement of a small flame. Final configuration should be selected according to the required standard, specimen type, and laboratory requirements.
The Single-Flame Source Test Apparatus is applicable to suitable building products, construction materials, surface products, insulation materials, composites, and other products covered by the relevant test method.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the system is suitable for fire-testing laboratories, building-material manufacturers, construction-product testing facilities, certification laboratories, research institutes, quality-control departments, and product-development centers.
