Model : PFT-IS 15061

The Flammability Tester IS 15061 is a high-precision laboratory testing instrument designed to assess the flame resistance and burning behavior of textile and fabric materials in accordance with the Indian Standard IS 15061. This advanced testing system ensures that textile manufacturers and quality control laboratories can accurately determine how easily a material ignites, how it burns, and how it responds to open flame exposure. 

 

What is Flammability Tester IS 15061?

The Flammability Tester IS 15061 is a precision-engineered testing instrument designed to evaluate the burning resistance and flammability characteristics of textile materials and fabrics. It is built in compliance with Indian Standard IS 15061, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and consistency in test results. This advanced tester helps manufacturers determine how easily a material catches fire, how quickly it burns, and how it behaves under specific conditions, making it an essential tool for quality control and safety compliance in textile production.

How Does the Flammability Tester IS 15061 Work?

The Flammability Tester IS 15061 operates by exposing a fabric sample to a standardized flame under controlled conditions. The test measures parameters such as flame spread time, after-glow duration, and char length. The sample is securely mounted in a vertical or horizontal position inside a stainless-steel test chamber. Once ignited, the instrument’s precision timers and observation windows allow users to monitor the burning behavior closely. The results are recorded accurately to determine whether the fabric meets safety standards or requires further treatment to improve fire resistance.

What Are the Benefits of Flammability Tester IS 15061?

  • Compliance with IS 15061 Standards: Ensures testing procedures meet Indian regulatory requirements.
  • Accurate Flame Performance Analysis: Provides dependable and repeatable results for consistent quality assurance.
  • Versatile Testing: Suitable for a wide range of textiles, upholstery, and industrial fabrics.
  • User-Friendly Operation: Simple setup, intuitive controls, and clear readings make it ideal for both lab and production environments.
  • Enhanced Product Safety: Helps manufacturers identify fire-prone materials early, ensuring safer end products and improved consumer confidence.

Applications

The Flammability Tester IS 15061 is widely used across multiple industries where fabric safety is a priority, including:

  • Textile and Garment Manufacturing – To evaluate fabric safety before production.
  • Home Furnishing and Upholstery – For curtains, sofas, and carpets requiring flame resistance.
  • Automotive and Aerospace Industries – To test seat covers, interiors, and insulation materials.
  • Research and Testing Laboratories – For quality certification and material development.
  • Regulatory and Compliance Agencies – To verify adherence to safety standards.
