Product Information:

G963 Nail Bed Flammable Tester, It is suitable for the burning performance test of cloth toys and filling materials. Perform the flammability of the flammable parts of solid and soft toys, and burning time is recorded to judge if the flammability of the burning part meets the standard requirements.
1. Place the sample on the burner, measure the length, and then ignite candles with flame height of 16 mm, so as to ignite the sample by the top flame for 5 s, remove the flame, re-burn for 5 s or burn to the other end of the spindle to calculate the burning speed.
2. The burner is designed according to the standard requirements, and the whole machine is made of stainless steel. The design structure is compact, easy to use and long in service life.

Applicable standards:

16 CFR 1510
ASTM F963 4.6.2

Product Advantages:

Ensures Optimal Protection: Verifies that the mask forms a proper seal, guaranteeing that the wearer receives the intended level of protection against airborne hazards.
Compliance with Regulations: Helps organizations and manufacturers meet mandatory fit testing requirements set by occupational safety and health regulations and standards.
Objective Measurement (for QNFT): Provides a quantitative Fit Factor, offering a precise and objective measure of mask seal effectiveness, unlike subjective qualitative tests.
Versatile Application: Can be used to test various types of tight-fitting face masks, including filtering facepieces (like N95s), half-face respirators, and full-face respirators.
User-Friendly Interface: Modern testers are designed with intuitive controls and software, making the testing process straightforward for operators.
Comprehensive Data Analysis: Software typically allows for data logging, analysis, and reporting of fit test results for record-keeping and compliance purposes.

FAQs

1. What is the purpose of the ASTM F963 Nail Bed Flammable Tester?
The ASTM F963 Nail Bed Flammable Tester is designed to evaluate the burning performance of flammable parts of solid and soft toys, particularly cloth toys and plush toys. By igniting the test specimen under controlled flame conditions and recording the burning time or burning speed, the tester determines whether the flammability of the tested part meets the applicable safety standard requirements. This helps assess potential fire hazards associated with toy materials.
2. How is the flammability test carried out using this tester?
During testing, the sample is first prepared and placed on the burner or supporting nail bed, and its length is measured. A candle with a flame height of 16 mm is then used to ignite the sample using the top of the flame for 5 seconds. After removing the flame, the specimen is allowed to burn for an additional 5 seconds or until it burns to the other end of the spindle. The burning time and burning distance are recorded, and the burning speed is calculated to judge whether the flammability performance complies with standard requirements.
3. Which standards does the tester comply with?
The ASTM F963 Nail Bed Flammable Tester is designed in accordance with relevant flammability testing standards, including ASTM F963 Section 4.6.2 and 16 CFR 1510. These standards specify the test method and acceptance criteria for evaluating the flammability of toys and related materials, ensuring consistency and regulatory compliance in safety testing.
4. What design features ensure durability and ease of use?
The tester is constructed entirely from stainless steel, providing good durability and long service life. Its burner and structural design are developed according to standard requirements, with a compact layout that makes the equipment easy to operate and maintain. The manual test mode allows operators to clearly observe ignition, burning behavior, and timing. The nail bed structure, supporting nails, and pressing plates are arranged to securely hold samples during testing, ensuring stable and repeatable test conditions.
