Abstract

Specifies a method for the measurement of surface burning properties of textile fabrics which have raised fibre surface, i.e. napped, pile, tufted, flocked or similar surface. The surface of the test specimen is ignited near the top by a small heat source and the spread of flame downwards on the surface of the fabric to a reference line is timed.

Scope

This Standard specifies a method for the measurement of surface burning time of textile fabrics which have a raised fibre surface, i.e. napped, pile, tufted, flocked, or similar surface. This test simulates the surface burning properties of textiles from a small heat source or where the ignition source is likely to be of a fleeting nature.
NOTE: This Standard complies with AS 2744.
