Thermal Radiation Melt Drop Tester & Melt Flammability Tester For Material Safety

In the field of automotive and material safety testing, the ECE R118 Thermal Radiation Melt Drop Tester and Melt Flammability Tester stand as essential instruments. Engineered to meet the rigorous standards set by international regulations, these testers provide accurate and reliable assessment of the thermal radiation resistance, melt drop characteristics, and flammability of materials, ensuring the safety and quality of products used in the automotive and related industries.

The ECE R118 Thermal Radiation Melt Drop Tester and Melt Flammability Tester is a sophisticated device that focuses on evaluating two critical aspects of material performance. Firstly, it measures the response of materials to thermal radiation, determining how they behave when exposed to intense heat sources. Secondly, it assesses the melt drop phenomenon and flammability of materials, which are crucial factors in preventing fire hazards and ensuring occupant safety in vehicles and other applications.
