This apparatus measures the flame spread properties of vertically oriented textile fabrics intended for quality apparel/uniforms, curtains, and draperies in the form of a single or multi-component fabric. A textile sample is held vertically in a frame. A small flame is used to ignite the specimen and the time is measured for the flame to spread up the specimen. The Fabric Vertical Burn Tester measures the surface burning time of textile fabrics that have raised fiber surfaces i.e. a napped, pile, tufted, flocked, or similar surface. The Gas Burner is designed to allow several different positioning, dependent on the angle of the test required. Face test, Bottom-edge ignition, horizontal standby position, horizontal reach adjustment, and the vertical standby flame height can all be achieved on the Fabric Vertical Burn Tester Timing devices are used with the Fabric Vertical Burn Tester to control and measure the flame application time, the after-flame time, and/or the afterglow time. They are started automatically and can be pressed manually as required.

Fabric Vertical Burn Testers
F0007 – A, B, C, D
This apparatus measures the flame spread properties of vertically oriented textile fabrics intended for
quality apparel / uniforms, curtains, and draperies in the form of a single or multi component fabrics. A
textile sample is held vertically in a frame. A small flame is used to ignite the specimen and the time is
measured for the flame to spread up the specimen.
The Fabric Vertical Burn Tester measures the surface burning time of textile fabrics which have raised
fibre surfaces i.e. a napped, pile, tufted, flocked or similar surface. The Gas Burner is designed to allow
several different positioning, dependent on the angle of test required. Face test, Bottom-edge ignition,
horizontal stand-by position, horizontal reach adjustment, and vertical stand-by flame height can all be
achieved on the Fabric Vertical Burn Tester
Timing devices are used with the Fabric Vertical Burn Tester to control and measure the flame application
time, the after-flame time, and/or the afterglow time. They are started automatically and can be pressed
manually as required.
