Full-Scale Room Corner Fire Test Apparatus
The Full-Scale Room Corner Fire Test Apparatus is designed to evaluate the combustion performance of surface materials under full-scale room fire conditions. Based on the oxygen consumption principle, it follows the GB/T 25207-2010 standard, which refers to ISO 9705. You can simulate a realistic corner fire scenario with actual installation conditions for the test samples, providing the most reliable assessment of flame spread, smoke production, and heat release rate. This apparatus is widely used in fire science research and for materials that cannot be accurately assessed using small-scale tests.

Test Procedures
Install materials in the combustion chamber according to their real-life application layout.
Connect propane fuel and calibration gases, and ensure all sensors and measurement devices are operational.
Ignite the sand-box burner and control gas flow to produce 100 kW heat output for the first 10 minutes.
If no flashover occurs, increase heat output to 300 kW and continue for another 10 minutes.
Monitor flame spread, heat release rate, smoke production, and oxygen/CO2 levels in real time.
Stop the test immediately upon observing flashover or after the 20-minute test period.
Analyze and export results using the integrated software.
