Radiant Flooring Panel Apparatus
EN ISO 9239-1 & EN ISO 9239-2
The EN ISO 9239-1 Radiant Flooring Panel test is the cornerstone of the flooring materials reaction to fire tests in the Euroclass system. The test measures the spread of flame of the sample, under thermal exposure, using a radiant heat ignition source. The thermal exposure is that of a fire growing in the room of origin that through a door opening, radiates onto the floorings in an adjacent room or corridor. It is relevant to classification of the flooring material into classes A2FL, BFL, CFL and DFL as set out in BS EN 13501-1 2018. EN ISO 9239-1 & EN ISO 9239-2 (EN ISO9239-2 available as an optional upgrade) applies to floorings. The apparatus can also be used for tests to standards ASTM E648 and DIN 4102; Part 14.
The test chamber consists of a support frame covered with painted metal panels. The resulting test chamber is insulated with calcium silicate insulation board and is provided with a temperature resistant observation window. The stainless steel sample support assembly is mounted on a sliding platform to allow safe and easy loading of the test sample.
A fibre metal mesh radiant panel complete with electronically adjustable control instrumentation for the gas and air supplies. The control system regulates the flow rates to ensure a constant air gas mixture, which is very important in achieving a constant heat flux profile during the test. Safety instrumentation is also included.
