FESTEC’s Fire Resistance Assemblies Tester is included in both the IEEE 1202 and IEEE 383 standards. This test method is proceed in a chamber with a set volume for 20 minutes. During the 20 minutes, a sample cable is ignited with theoretically 20kW(70,000Btu/hr) flame using an ignition source fixed in a vertical position. This equipment evaluates a spread of flame of single core cable or multi core cable.
If user wants to measure H.R.R (Heat Release Rate), Smoke density and so on, Heat Release Facility (additional part) is adoptable to this equipment.
