The Horizontal and Vertical Combustion Tester is a specialized equipment for evaluating the combustion performance, fire resistance and flame retardant effect of materials (such as plastics, rubbers, textiles, electronic product shells, etc.) under different combustion conditions. By simulating two different combustion directions, horizontal (horizontal combustion) and vertical (vertical combustion), this equipment tests the combustion behavior of materials under the action of flame to determine whether they comply with relevant safety standards and regulatory requirements. The following is a detailed description of the Horizontal and Vertical Combustion Tester:
1. Functions and Uses
Simulate the burning environment:
Through the action of flame in the horizontal or vertical direction, simulate the burning conditions that the material may encounter in actual use and evaluate its burning performance.
Horizontal Combustion Test:
Evaluates the burning performance of materials in the horizontal direction, including burning speed, burning time, drip behavior, etc.
Vertical Combustion Test:
Evaluates the combustion performance of the material in the vertical direction, including flame spreading speed, burning time, dripping behavior, etc.
Flame Retardant Performance Evaluation:
Evaluate the flame retardant treatment effect of the material to ensure that it meets the relevant safety standards and regulatory requirements.
Quality Control and R&D:
For quality control during material production, as well as R&D and performance optimization of new products.
Equipment structure schematic diagram and function
Combustion chamber: stainless steel, high-temperature-resistant glass observation window, built-in specimen clamping frame (angle adjustable 0-45).
Gas system: precision flow meter (0-1000 mL/min), pressure reducing valve, automatic ignition device.
Control panel: touch screen operation, preset UL94 V0/V1/V2 test program, support manual/automatic mode switching.
Exhaust system: centrifugal fan (air volume 200 m/h) + activated carbon filtration, in line with laboratory exhaust emission standards.
Common Problems and Solutions
- Problem 1: Unstable flame height
Cause: Gas pressure fluctuation or clogged nozzle.
Solution: Adjust the pressure reducing valve to 0.1 MPa and clean the nozzle with a through needle.
- Problem 2: Large deviation of after-flame time
Reason: Uneven thickness of specimen or improper pretreatment.
Solution: Cut the specimen strictly according to the standard, humidity control 3% RH.
- Problem 3: equipment alarm shutdown
Reason: the exhaust gas discharge resistance is too large or the temperature exceeds the limit.
Solution: Check whether the exhaust pipe is blocked, reset the thermal protection switch.

FAQ's of Horizontal and vertical combustion testing machine:
Q: How is the combustion test performed using this machine?
A: To conduct a test, the sample is mounted in the chamber and the burner angle is selected (0, 20, or 45). The flame height is adjusted, and the digital timer is set according to testing requirements. The electronic ignition triggers the controlled flame, and the digital display records flame spread and burning time with 1 mm accuracy. Observations are made safely through the heat-resistant glass window.
Q: What types of materials can be tested with this equipment?
A: This combustion testing machine is suitable for evaluating the flammability and self-extinguishing properties of plastics, rubber compounds, and various insulation materials, using specimens of up to 125 mm x 13 mm x 10 mm.
Q: Where should the machine be installed for optimum performance?
A: For accurate and safe operation, the machine should be set up in a laboratory environment that is clean, dust-free, and free from excessive vibration. Recommended ambient conditions are temperatures between 10C and 35C and relative humidity levels of 20%-75%.
Q: What safety features does the equipment provide during operation?
A: User protection is ensured by an emergency stop switch, immediate gas leakage detection, and a sealed, heat-resistant observation window. These systems safeguard both operators and the laboratory environment throughout the test process.
Q: How often does the chamber require cleaning and how is it maintained?
A: Cleaning frequency depends on usage intensity, but regular maintenance is straightforward due to the easily accessible, stainless steel chamber. It is recommended to clean the chamber after each series of tests to maintain optimal performance and safety.
