UL94 Foam Horizontal Burning Tester | ISO 9772 Flammability Testing Equipment for Cellular Plastics Safety Compliance
HongCe HVF‑5A Foam Horizontal Burning Tester is a precision flammability testing instrument built strictly to UL94 and ISO 9772, designed to evaluate horizontal burning performance of low‑density cellular plastics. As a direct manufacturer, HongCe ensures stable performance, reliable test data, full‑process pre‑sales and after‑sales support, helping labs and factories pass safety certifications efficiently.
Products Introduction
Safety and compliance are non‑negotiable in material development and quality control. HongCe Foam Horizontal Burning Tester is engineered to deliver accurate, repeatable flammability tests for foam plastics used in packaging, furniture, electronics, automotive interiors, and construction insulation. It precisely measures burning rate, combustion time, self‑extinguishing performance, and flame spread to determine ratings like HBF, HF‑1, HF‑2.
Product Features
- Fully compliant with UL94 and ISO 9772 for standardized, repeatable test results
- Integrated ignition system with 0.1s delay for stable, complete gas combustion
- Precise flame control: 38±2mm standard blue flame
- Adjustable gas pressure and flow for methane, propane, or mixed gas
- High‑precision timing: 0–9999×0.1s for combustion and self‑extinguishing periods
International Reference Standards
