Large Scale Vertical Fire ResistanceTest Furnace
The fire resistance properties of a material provide invaluable information to assess the behaviour of a specimen and its assemblies.
The Vertical Fire Resistance Test Furnace provides a method of quantifying the ability of products and materials, in a vertical orientation, to withstand exposure to high temperatures. The furnace can be used for evaluating the fire resistance of products such as walls, doors, dampers, joints, and penetration seals. This is done by evaluating a number of functions including; the load-bearing capacity, the fire containment and the thermal transmittance of the assemblies being tested.
The large scale vertical fire resistance test furnace can be use for:
