Product Overview
The KR‑746 thermal radiation flame‑spread test rig is engineered for fire‑reaction assessment of rigid and flexible materials with thickness above 5 mm. Designed in alignment with French NF P92‑501 and Chinese TB/T 2639.1 specifications, it reproduces severe thermal‑radiation fire‑exposure conditions for building‑construction substrates and railway‑vehicle interior components
Under a controlled 30 kW/m² radiant‑heat flux, test‑samples absorb thermal energy and release volatile combustible vapours. Dual‑position ignition burners activate these vapours. The system captures flame‑propagation behaviours while gathering datasets used for calculating heat‑release‑related indices. It delivers quantifiable flame‑index metrics for material fire‑hazard ranking, and is extensively deployed in rail‑transport manufacturers, construction‑material labs, fire‑safety‑R&D centres and accredited third‑party fire‑testing institutes.

Core Product Competitive Advantages
- Robust Flame‑Resistant Enclosure with Visual Observation Capability
Main test compartment is built from stainless‑steel alloy, lined with non‑combustible high‑temperature‑resistant inner lining. Large transparent viewing window allows continuous visual tracking of flame movement and sample degradation without opening chamber doors. Tubular air‑intake assembly comes with built‑in filter unit, effectively blocking ambient airborne contaminants from interfering internal test atmosphere.
- Precision‑Controlled Thermal‑Radiation Source System
500 W‑rated Epiradiator‑type radiant‑heating unit stably generates standard‑specified 30 kW/m² heat‑flux output. Power‑controller modulates radiant‑energy magnitude; real‑time operating‑power read‑out minimises frequent recurring calibration workloads. 45‑degree inclined specimen‑bracket is fitted with stainless‑steel graduated ruler for straightforward flame‑spread‑distance measurementMade-in-Ch….
- Dual‑Burner Ignition Assembly with Fine‑Tunable Flame Geometry
Upper‑and‑lower independent stainless‑steel burners ignite volatilised flammable gases released from thermally stressed specimens. High‑precision needle‑valve hardware modulates gas‑supply to adjust flame height, paired with dedicated flame‑height reference gauge. Persistent pilot‑flame unit simplifies pre‑test burner ignition; quarter‑turn shut‑off tap enables fast gas‑circuit cut‑off for enhanced operational‑safety.
- Multi‑Point Thermal‑Monitoring & Intelligent PLC Touch‑Screen Control
Platinum‑resistance thermocouples are arranged at air‑inlet and exhaust‑outlet zones to record real‑time temperature‑difference data inside the cabinet. 7‑inch bilingual colour touch‑screen working under PLC logic supports freely‑configurable timing range from 0‑9999 seconds. Built‑in algorithm automatically computes core evaluation‑parameters: average‑flame‑height index, maximum‑flame‑index and combustion‑heat‑index. Test logs can be exported and printed directly for formal lab‑report‑archiving.
- Complete Safety‑Oriented Mechanical Layout
All gas‑circuit components work below 0.1 MPa working‑pressure limit. Main‑frame is assembled on heavy‑duty mobile casters for convenient workshop relocation. Host‑unit and specimen‑support‑table adopt split‑type construction for flexible‑on‑site installation and routine‑maintenance access.

Standard Complete Test Operating Workflow
- Pre‑Test Preparation
Position split‑type main‑unit and specimen‑table on level fire‑safe lab‑floor; lock mobile casters. Complete gas‑circuit‑connection and protective‑grounding. Power‑on PLC touch‑screen system. Inspect burner, pilot‑flame device, thermocouple sensors and filter‑element integrity. Prepare flat‑conditioned test‑specimen; configure target test‑duration via touch‑screen interface.
- Specimen Mounting
Secure flat sample firmly onto the 45‑degree inclined stainless‑steel test‑bracket. Verify alignment against measuring‑ruler scale. Close test‑chamber observation‑door. Activate pilot‑flame to pre‑ignite upper‑lower burners, adjust needle‑valve to set proper flame‑height according‑to‑standard‑requirements.
- Thermal‑Radiation Exposure & Flame‑Propagation Test
Start formal test‑sequence. Radiator outputs stable 30 kW/m² thermal‑radiant‑flux onto specimen surface. Sample gradually releases flammable volatile components which are ignited by burners. System continuously monitors temperature‑difference signal, meanwhile operators observe flame‑spread behaviour via viewing‑window.
-
Data‑Calculation & Test Termination
When preset test‑time expires, equipment cuts‑off radiator and burner gas‑supply automatically. Built‑in software computes flame‑index, average‑flame‑height index, peak‑flame‑index and combustion‑heat‑index. Export or print test‑report files for record‑keeping.
-
Post‑Test Tidying
Wait until chamber interior and hardware components fully cool‑down to safe‑ambient‑temperature. Open cabinet door and remove post‑combustion sample. Clear combustion‑residues inside chamber; inspect filter, thermocouples and burner‑nozzle for carbon‑deposit. Close gas‑source valve and shut‑off main‑power‑supply. Conduct periodic calibration for radiator and measuring‑sensors.

Safety‑Operation‑Reminder
This equipment involves open‑flame and high‑temperature‑radiant‑heat source; lab space must equip proper fire‑protection‑facilities. Strictly inspect gas‑circuit‑leakage before each test‑run. Do not open test‑chamber door during running‑test or before full cooling‑cycle completes. Ensure reliable protective‑grounding. Operators shall wear heat‑resistant protective‑accessories. Regularly calibrate radiator‑output and temperature‑sensors to guarantee measuring‑credibility.
