Improve the security of car interior: a comprehensive evaluation of Flammability of Interior Materials with Automotive Interior Materials Flammability Test Chamber

In recent years, with the rapid development of automotive services, vehicle fires have become a serious problem in safe traffic. Due to the small space, high degree of sealing, dynamic driving and other characteristics of vehicles, once a fire occurs, it is difficult to control, which will seriously endanger the life safety of passengers on board. Therefore, the flammability of Interior materials is the key factor to prevent the rapid spread of fire and protect the safety of passengers. To this end, our country has formulated strict regulations and standards, so as to improve the fire retardant performance of automotive interior materials, delay the spread of fire, and ensure the safety of passengers. Therefore, automotive interior combustion testers play an important role in testing the fire retardant performance of automotive interior materials.

The combustion characteristics of automotive interior materials:
Our country has implemented a series of effective rules and measures for the flammability of Interior materials, using organic materials as interior materials, including: seat cushion, seat cover, safety belt, headrest, armrest, folding roof, panel (including door guard plate, guard plate, roof panel lining), instrument panel, glove box, shelf panel (rear window panel), curtain, floor covering, sunshade, wheel cover, engine cover and filler cushion. Analyzing the combustion characteristics of these interior materials is an essential step to understand the combustion characteristics of the products and to determine the fire prevention measures and strengthen the safety of automobiles.

What is an Automotive Interior Materials Flammability Test Chamber?
The automotive interior materials flammability test chamber is an important test equipment for evaluating the combustion performance and safety of automotive interior materials. This tester can simulate the real fire scene and be used to detect the combustion characteristics of automotive interior materials under the action of flames and the generation of smoke. Automotive interior combustion tester can be used for R&D, production and quality inspection of various types of automotive interior material manufacturers, and can also be used for testing of insulation materials, engineering plastics or other solid combustible materials industries.

Principle of Automotive Interior Materials Flammability Test Chamber:
Clamp one end of the sample in a horizontal or vertical manner, apply the predetermined gas flame to the free end of the sample, and evaluate the combustion performance of the sample by measuring the linear burning rate (horizontal method) or the flameless burning time (vertical method).

Operating steps and precautions for using the Automotive Interior Materials Flammability Test Chamber :
I. Equipment preparation:
1. Environmental requirements: Ensure that the environment is well ventilated, free of flammable materials, and temperature and humidity meet the requirements of the equipment.
2. Power connection: Connect the automotive interior combustion tester to a stable and reliable power supply to ensure that the voltage meets the requirements of the equipment.
3. Check and calibration: Before use, calibrate and check the equipment, and check the accuracy and normal operation of the key parameters and sensors.

1). Operation steps:
1. Prepare sample: Prepare automotive interior material samples, cut and prepare according to standard requirements.
2. Sample installation: Fix the sample on the combustion tester, and ensure the installation position of the sample is correct. Avoid interference and contact between samples.
3. Setting parameters: Set the parameters of the tester according to the corresponding test requirements and standards, including the location of the ignition source, flame size and test time, to ensure that the test is carried out under appropriate conditions.
4. Start the operation: After confirming the completion of the setting, start the tester and start the combustion test. Pay attention to observe the combustion of the sample and the generation of smoke during the test.
5. Record information: Record the key data during the test, including combustion time, combustion rate and smoke density, to keep the data accurate and complete.
6. Result analysis: Accurately analyze the test results, combine the test requirements and standards, evaluate the combustion performance and smoke generation of the sample.

2). Precautions:
1. Safe operation: Follow the safe operating procedures when using, wear the corresponding work protection equipment, and the laboratory must have necessary safety facilities and emergency measures.
2. Equipment maintenance: Regularly clean the external and internal parts, maintain and calibrate the equipment to ensure its normal operation and accuracy.
3. Sample selection: Select representative and repeatable samples, and check that their size and shape meet the standard requirements.
4. Parameter setting: According to the test requirements and standards, set the test parameters correctly to ensure the repeatability and accuracy of the test.
5. Data analysis: Accurately analyze the test results and relevant standards, give valuable conclusions.
