Q1: What is the primary purpose of the GESTER GT-C32 45 Degree Flammability Tester?
A: The GT-C32 is used to determine the burning characteristics and flame spread speed of textile fabrics under controlled 45-degree inclined plane conditions. It evaluates apparel fabrics as they reach consumers to ensure compliance with international fire safety regulations.
Q2: Why is specimen brushing necessary prior to the 45-degree flammability test?
A: According to standards such as 16 CFR Part 1610 and ASTM D1230, napped or raised-fiber fabrics (such as fleece, terrycloth, or velvet) must be conditioned using the standardized 150gf brush load mechanism to raise the surface pile consistently before ignition testing.
Q3: What is the ignition and timing display precision of the GT-C32?
A: The machine features a high-precision digital time display with an ignition time range of 0–99.0 seconds and a flame timing display of 0–99.9 seconds, operating with a resolving capability of 0.1 seconds to ensure precise flame spread measurement.
Q4: What gas supply is required to operate the GT-C32 safely?
A: The GT-C32 is connected via its standardized gas feed device to laboratory-grade butane or propane gas tanks, equipped with fine pressure control valves to deliver consistent, regulated test flame dimensions.
Q5: Can the GT-C32 be used for testing children's sleepwear or protective clothing? If not, which GESTER product should be used?
A: No. The GT-C32 45-degree tester is designed for general apparel fabrics. Children's sleepwear and protective clothing require strict vertical flammability testing. For these applications, GESTER provides dedicated vertical flammability testers:
Vertical Flammability Chamber GT-C35: Designed specifically for children's sleepwear in compliance with 16 CFR 1615/1616 and ASTM D6413.
Vertical Combustibility Tester GT-C35B: Designed for protective clothing and European safety standards, compliant with ISO 15025, ISO 14116, ISO 6940/6941, and EN 1103.
