Furniture Calorimeter
ISO/ BS EN 16989
Description
The Calorimetre for complete seats used in railways provides a means of determining the burning behavior of a rail vehicle seat design using a set of complete seats prepared and tested according to the procedures. It also sets out a standardized procedure to assess a seat’s potential for vandalization. The test seats are subjected to a 15kw propane-flued ignition source under an exhaust hood with a well-ventilated condition. The measurement to be made include the heat release rate (HRR), maximum average heat release (MARHE), total smoke production (TSP), and flame height.
