BS 476 Part 6 Fire Propagation Test Apparatus
Manufacturer: KDM Global | Fire Resistance Testing Equipment for Building & Railway Materials
The BS 476 Part 6 Fire Propagation Test Apparatus is a specialized laboratory instrument designed to assess the fire propagation characteristics of construction and composite materials, as per British Standard BS 476 Part 6. This test method plays a crucial role in determining the fire performance of wall panels, ceiling linings, insulation materials, and is widely used for building material classification in the UK and international markets.
KDM Global offers a high-precision, easy-to-operate, and fully compliant BS 476 Part 6 test system making it ideal for test laboratories, R&D centers, regulatory agencies, and building product manufacturers.
Key Features:
Standard-Compliant Setup Fully meets BS 476 Part 6 fire propagation test procedure
Triple Flame Burners Main, pilot, and auxiliary burners simulate realistic fire exposure
Specimen Support Frame Heat-resistant tray to hold test samples securely
Advanced Temperature Monitoring Thermocouples and digital indicators for accurate data
Solid Construction Insulated combustion chamber for safe and consistent testing
Flow Meter & Pressure Gauge For precise control of gas flow and pressure during test
Modular Design Easy maintenance, replacement, and calibration
Test Overview:
In the BS 476 Part 6 test, the material sample is exposed to a triangular arrangement of flames and heated for a defined time. The temperature rise in the chamber is recorded, and the fire propagation index (I value) is calculated from temperature increments. Lower values indicate better fire resistance.
Applications:
Wall & Ceiling Linings
Insulation Boards and Composite Panels
Building Materials Certification
Railway Coach Interior Panels (Non-combustibility Assessment)
Plastic and Polymer-Based Wall Finishes
R&D Labs, Fire Testing Institutions, and Approval Agencies
