The CSI Test Chimney is used as a small-scale laboratory screening procedure for comparing relative extent and time of burning and loss of mass of rigid thermoset cellular plastics. The test method applies solely to establish relative burning characteristics of materials.
Tests made on rigid cellular materials according to the conditions described by the test method referenced below, can be of considerable value in comparing their burning characteristics. The height and duration of flame and the mass percent retained by the specimen are recorded.
This test method has been applied to flexible cellular materials and other plastics, but no detailed studies have been conducted to determine its general applicability to these materials.
In this procedure, the specimen are subjected to one or more specific sets of laboratory test conditions. If different test conditions are substituted or the end-use conditions are changed, it may not be possible by or from this test to predict changes in the fire-test-response characteristics measured.This apparatus includes:
Base Plate.
Stainless Steel Body.
Stainless Steel Sample Holder.
Pyrex Glass front Access window.
Front Mounted metric scale.
