Flammability of Blankets Tester

What is the Flammability of Blankets Tester？

This apparatus assesses the flammability of blankets by exposing them to a specified ignition source under controlled conditions, measuring parameters like ignition resistance, flame spread rate, and char length to evaluate compliance with safety standards for flame resistance in textile materials.

It is used to test the flame retardant properties of bed blanket fabrics and the flame spread properties on the surface of the fabrics. The test method is to burn the surface of the sample with a standardized flame within a specified time, so as to observe the burning, damage or discoloration of the standard test paper, and then grade the test fabric.

Compliance： ASTM D4151-2010 "Standard test method for flammability of blankets".
