Surface Flammability Tester

The Surface Flammability Tester is used to measure the surface flammability of materials and products. The sample is tilted 30° from vertical and heated by a vertically arranged surface radiator. A burner is placed near the upper edge of the emitter surface to ignite the sample. The time required to reach one of the 76 mm marks is then measured.

Operation Instructions

Inspect the integrity of the instrument: Ensure the instrument housing is free of damage, cracks, or wear, and that the batteries and accessories are complete.

Calibrating the instrument: Calibrate regularly to ensure the accuracy of test results. Calibrate using standard gases.

Selecting an appropriate testing location: Select a testing location based on the characteristics of the gas being tested.

Performing a test: Place the tester near the gas area to be tested and observe the displayed value changes.

Shutting down the tester: After use, promptly turn off the power and store it properly.

Maintenance Instructions

1. Keep records of instrument operation, especially any malfunctions, to facilitate repair and investigation.

2. The instrument should ideally be calibrated every six months to ensure the accuracy of test data.

3. Keep all exterior surfaces of the instrument clean. When cleaning the surface, be careful not to allow cleaning fluid to come into contact with electrical components, and do not wipe with a damp cloth. After cleaning, wipe dry to prevent condensation. Use only a dry cloth to wipe the display.

4. Do not shut down the instrument during operation. Exit all running programs before shutting down the instrument.

5. Be careful not to damage the instrument's exterior, especially the sensor and its connecting cable. Stop using it immediately if any damage occurs.

6. After use, turn off the main unit power. If the operating environment is poor, clean the instrument promptly after use to ensure cleanliness. Do not pack the instrument immediately after shutting down, as it generates residual heat during operation.

During testing, it is necessary to regularly clean the sensor to maintain proper operation. Regular maintenance and care of combustible gas detectors is also crucial to extend their lifespan and ensure proper operation.
