Firefighter protective clothing materials exposed to moderate levels of radiant heating can cause serious burn injuries when compressed against the skin. The amount of energy stored in a protective fabric and potentially transferred to the wearer requires specific exposure conditions and complex analysis - parameters that the Stored Energy Test Device was developed to isolate, reproduce, and quantify, as per ASTM F2731.

The Thermal Protective Performance (TPP) rating system is a method for evaluating thermal protection by measuring the time elapsed for convective and radiant heat to penetrate through a composite fabric system - resulting in damage to human skin. Our new TPP device fully complies with the ASTM F2700, ASTM F2703, and ISO 17492 test standards. More on TPP Test Device

The Radiant Protective Performance (RPP) Test Device was developed to measure the time elapsed for a controlled radiant heat source to penetrate through a protective composite fabric system - resulting in damage to human skin. Our new RPP device fully complies with the ASTM F1939 and F2702 test standards. More on RPP Test Device

The advanced Flame Test Manikin System includes high-temperature composite manikin with integrated sensors, control electronics, computational burn model and computer in a complete turn-key package, allowing the operator to characterize the performance of garments or protective clothing ensembles in a simulated flash fire environment having controlled heat flux, flame distribution, and duration as per the ASTM F1930 and ISO 13506 testing standards.

Use our modular burn chamber to conduct research with our flame test manikins. Self-contained, enclosed space built from metal-lined, flame retardant materials. Suitable for installation within a laboratory space or outdoors by adding protection from direct weathering More On Burn Chamber

MTNW Flame Test Hands are built from a high temperature composite structure with machined, integrated mounting locations for flame exposure sensors. Removable fingers are solid-cast from a fiber-reinforced ceramic material. Fingers and the hand form are durable enough to withstand multiple direct flame exposures that approach 1800°C, lasting as long as 4 seconds.

4 heat flux calorimeter sensors are located in the forearm area, 3 sensors are on the back of the hand, and 2 sensors are on the palm of the hand. During a test the total energy transmitted and recorded by the sensors is used to predict whether a second degree burn injury will occur. If a second degree burn injury is predicted, the time to a second degree burn injury is reported. More on the Flame Test Hand
