Horizontal Vertical Flame Tester KP-FT04 – UL94 IEC60695-11-3/11-4 500W

Horizontal Vertical Flame Chamber Tester – IEC60695-11-3 IEC60695-11-4 500W Vertical Burning Test

The Horizontal Vertical Flame Chamber Tester is a multi-standard flammability evaluation system manufactured by KingPo, designed to classify the combustion performance of solid materials and components in electrical and electronic products. It employs a Bunsen burner with high-purity methane or propane to apply controlled flames: 50W nominal for horizontal (HB) and vertical (V-0/V-1/V-2) tests per IEC60695-11-4:2011, and 500W for severe vertical burning test (5VA/5VB) per IEC60695-11-3:2012. Flame height (20–180mm) and angle (0°/20°/45°) are adjustable, with precise timing of ignition, residual flame, and afterglow recorded to determine fire hazard ratings for plastics, foams, thin films, and insulating materials in household appliances, lighting equipment, low-voltage apparatus, and engineering plastics.

KingPo Factory Advantages

ISO9001 & CE-certified manufacturer with global exports. KingPo has delivered over 150 units of horizontal-vertical flame chambers to safety testing labs and material manufacturers in China, Europe, and Southeast Asia since 2020, with CNAS calibration reports provided on all equipment. The tester supports lifetime free software upgrades and 48-hour on-site response during the warranty period in Dongguan.

Professional Construction & Technical Precision

Key features include:

• Burner System: Bunsen burner with inner diameter Φ9.5mm ± 0.3mm – dual flowmeter/pressure gauge for accurate control in 500W vertical burning test per IEC60695-11-3
• Flame Adjustment: Height 20mm ± 2mm to 180mm ± 10mm, manual angle switch 0°/20°/45° – compliant with both IEC60695-11-3 and IEC60695-11-4 methods
• Timing & Recording: Ignition 0–999.9s ±0.1s, residual flame/broil automatic recording via wire suspension – single-chip microcomputer + touch screen interface
• Temperature Verification: K-type thermocouple Φ0.5mm ±0.05% accuracy – confirms flame rise from 100°C ±5°C to 700°C ±3°C in 44–54s ±2s
• Chamber Environment: Volume ≥0.75m³ with independent ventilation – black interior for clear observation of burning behaviour
• Gas Supply: 98% methane/propane (liquefied petroleum gas alternative) – ensures standardized flame power for repeatable 500W vertical burning test results
• 

These features provide reliable classification across IEC60695-11-3, IEC60695-11-4, and UL94 standards.

Primary Use Cases & Business Value

The Horizontal Vertical Flame Chamber Tester supports critical stages:

• Material Classification – Assign HB, V-0/V-1/V-2 via IEC60695-11-4 and 5VA/5VB via 500W vertical burning test per IEC60695-11-3
• Component Safety Validation – Test enclosures, connectors, and insulators against flame propagation in appliances
• Certification Data Generation – Produce traceable reports for UL94, IEC60695-11-3 IEC60695-11-4 submissions
• Production Batch Verification – Ensure consistent fire performance in high-volume manufacturing

It enables early hazard identification, supports safer design choices, and accelerates regulatory approval.

Compliance & Regulatory Assurance

The KP-FT04 fully aligns with IEC 60695-11-3, IEC 60695-11-4, and UL 94-2006. To ensure the highest level of laboratory safety, we recommend following the technical guidelines provided by the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) regarding material flammability. Furthermore, the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) provides critical regulatory frameworks that our equipment helps fulfill. For deep academic research on combustion kinetics, we suggest referencing peer-reviewed data on ScienceDirect.
