The Oxygen Index Test is a method used to determine the combustion properties of a material. During the test, the sample is placed in a combustion chamber mixed with oxygen and nitrogen and then ignited. The oxygen index is obtained by measuring the ratio of the volume of oxygen before and after the sample burns at the start of combustion. The higher the oxygen index value, the more resistant the material is to fire.

It is widely used in construction, electronics, automobiles, plastics, etc. With Oxygen Index Tester, the degree of danger of a material in a fire situation can be assessed, providing an important reference for material selection and fire protection design. It can also play a role in product quality, safety and environmental protection.
 
It is important to know that Oxygen Index Test, although a safe test method, requires a certain level of expertise and experience of the operator. Also, there are differences in oxygen index standards for different materials, which require targeted testing. Therefore, it is recommended to understand the relevant knowledge and choose the appropriate test standard and equipment before conducting Oxygen Index Test to avoid misjudgment and unnecessary loss.
 
In conclusion, Oxygen Index Test is a commonly used method for fire protection assessment of materials and has important application value. Understanding the knowledge of Oxygen Index Test can help us to better select and use materials and improve the safety and environmental protection of products.
