Determination of Flame Propagation Using Large Combustion Weld on Test Particles Placed in Vertical Position

Most textile products are organic based and have good combustion properties. The widespread presence of these products in all areas of life and closest to them makes textile products a major risk factor in fires. Fire risks are not only related to this. The increase in industrialization and the increase in mass settlements, as well as the development of technology increases the risks of fire. Therefore, it is inevitable to make high temperature and flame protection textile products.

In addition, the importance of textile products to be used in various fields has started to be woven from fibers that do not emit toxic gas when burned and which have high flammability. Particularly high temperature resistant fibers are preferred in woven belts, ropes and cables or hot gas filtration, flexible woven belts are used instead of springs in furniture, and even flammable lining and filling fabrics are preferred over dangerous foams that produce toxic gases.

Accredited laboratories, for so many different purposes produced fabrics are tested in various aspects. One of these studies is the determination of flame spread when using large combustion sources in test particles placed in the vertical position. These laboratories are accredited in accordance with TS EN ISO / IEC 17025 standards from domestic and foreign accreditation organizations and comply with the standards published by national or international organizations in the test studies.

The following standards apply to the tests for the determination of flame spread when a large combustion source is used in test particles placed in a vertical position:

  • BS EN 13772 Textiles and textile products - Combustion behavior - Curtains and drapes - Measurement of flame spread of vertically oriented specimens with large ignition source
  • TS EN 13772 Textile and textile products - Combustion properties - Curtains - Determination of flame spread when using large combustion welding in test pieces placed in vertical cone
