Fire Resistance Testing Furnaces

Fire resistance testing furnaces have been developed mainly to satisfy the needs of authorized test laboratories when they certify, verify, test and prove the fire rating mainly of:

• flat vertical and horizontal building parts and  panelling of the building openings
• sheet glass
• other structural parts of buildings

These furnaces are also used by a number of building material and sheet glass manufacturers for regular quality verifications of their output and also for testing, research and engineering development of new products.

The furnaces are to be used for testing up to 1350 °C (temperature inside furnace). Fire resistance testing can be carried out by means of them, with the course of the temperature copying the following fire simulation curves:

• normal curve EN1363-1:2020, ISO 834-1:1999, BS476-20:1987,
• external fire curve EN1363-2:1999,
• slow heating curve EN1363-2:1999,
• hydrocarbon curve EN1363-2:1999,
• modified hydrocarbon curve,
• RWS curve,
• as well as curves the purchaser can set at his own discretions

The furnaces are designed and constructed in accordance with harmonised legislation and standards of the European Union and regional standards of countries outside the European Union.

The construction of the furnaces is always made according to individual customer requirements.
