Fire Resistance Testing

Historically, furnaces lined with bricks hold the heat and is difficult to precisely control the fluxes of temperatures within the furnace. This also dramatically increases the time between tests. With our furnace lining using ceramic fiber modules, we can fully control the heat within the furnace with accuracy and precision. This also allows us to have little to no wait time before another sample can be tested within the furnace.

All heat measurements, inside the furnace and out the cold side of the sample, are compiled by state-of-the-art automatic calibrated data acquisition using numerous thermopiles and couplers. This, in return, is passed to the computer that will output a digital graph and then archive all test data for historical use and storage.

Once your fire resistance test is completed, and since your sample will be installed in a portable test frame wall, it will quickly be relocated to the hose stream test location, if applicable, for the final stage.
