The Panel Heater Test Device, in accordance with NF P 92-506, is designed to measure the reaction to fire performance of flooring material when exposed to a defined gas-fueled radiant heat source and pilot flame. The specimen is mounted horizontally and exposed to a vertically mounted radiant heater panel, ignite the specimen with a pilot flame on the side, and record the flame spread distance and time. Panel Heater Test Device consists of • The panel heater is square porous ceramic made with a dimension of 305mm by 305mm by 70mm. • The gas supply system for the panel heater consists of a propane flow meter, air flow meter, pressure regulators, valves, and venture mixer. • The panel heater can quickly reach a temperature of 850 degrees within 10mins. • The pilot burner can generate a 40mm height pilot flame. • Provides a high-temperature radiation meter to measure the surface temperature of the panel heater. • Provides a control cabinet, and displays the panel heater test device’s condition The French M Classification for Building Materials (NF P 92-507) The “Reaction to Fire” tests classify the material into 5 categories from M0 to M4. The specific standard that is applicable depends on the intended use and defines test methods for all materials. • M0 - Non-flammable (Calorific Value ≤ 2.5 MJ/kg) • M1 - Non-flammable (Calorific Value ＞ 2.5 MJ/kg) • M2 - Low flammability • M3 - Moderately flammable • M4 - High flammability
