Product catalog summary
Overview: The Atlas HVFAA Horizontal Vertical Flame Chamber is designed to accurately determine the flammability of aircraft cabin and cargo compartment materials, liners, waste stowage compartment materials, and electric wire. It performs Bunsen burner tests in compliance with FAA's Aircraft Material Fire Test Handbook DOT/FAA/AR-00/12, covering chapters 1.0 to 4.0 (FAR 25.853, 25.855, 25.1359).
Capabilities and Features:
  • Conformance: Meets aviation fire test standards including DOT/FAA/CT-89/15 and others.
  • Setup and Operation: Features easy setup with a sliding/tilting burner mount and remote-controlled timers.
  • Specimen Testing: Offers flexibility with four interchangeable specimen holders for different test orientations (horizontal, vertical, 45°, and 60°).
  • Chamber Design: Large volume (>0.5 m3) prevents oxygen depletion and includes draft-free side air vents.
  • Gas Control: Equipped with a precision flowmeter and gas pressure regulator/gauge.
  • Optional Kits: Includes a flame confirmation kit for verifying test flame height and color, and an exhaust blower system for rapid clearing of combustion products.
Standard Features:
  • Gas control system with local pressure regulator and gauge.
  • Gas flow indicator lamps.
  • Three digital specimen event timers with remote control.
  • Automatic gas shut-off during power failure.
  • Burner positioning apparatus and sliding tempered glass viewing window.
  • Hand access openings with doors for closed window access and interior light.
  • Compliance with CE safety requirements.
Optional Features:
  • Flame Confirmation Kit (ASTM D5207 compliant).
  • High Temperature Exhaust Blower with Variable Speed Control.
  • Specimen holder kits for various test orientations.
Technical Specifications:
  • Dimensions: Interior - 122cm x 114cm x 51cm; Exterior - 122cm x 140cm x 51cm.
  • Weight: Bench - 124kg; Shipping - 181kg.
