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.
