Flame spread test device according to ISO 5658-2 with thermal imaging

Test ISO 5658-2 (Reaction to fire tests – Spread of flame – Part 2: Lateral spread on building and transport products in vertical configuration) provides data suitable for comparing the performance of essentially flat materials, composites, or assemblies that are used primarily as the exposed surfaces of wall in buildings and transport vehicles. It refers to the measurement and description of the properties of materials, products, or assemblies in response to radiative heat in the presence of a pilot flame under controlled laboratory conditions. When testing individual materials, thermal imaging cameras are used to record the range of radiative heat generated by the tested materials.
