CFR 16 Part 1611 SPI Flammability Tester | Vinyl Apparel Film Flammability Testing Machine for Global Importers & Distributors

The SPI Flammability Tester is a professional compliance testing instrument for vinyl plastic film, fully compliant with CFR 16 Part 1611 of the US Flammable Fabrics Act. It is widely exported to testing laboratories, vinyl film factories, apparel accessory manufacturers, and quality supervision agencies worldwide. This equipment is an essential testing tool for any vinyl film product sold to the US market, verifying whether the burning rate of apparel vinyl film meets the mandatory safety requirement of ≤1.2 inches per second.

The tester adopts the 45-degree test configuration specified in the standard and uses a 22# needle flame nozzle to provide a standardized ignition source. A photoelectric sensor automatically captures the burning time across the 6-inch test distance with 0.01 s high precision. The upgraded thread-locking sample holder greatly improves testing efficiency — a significant advantage over older-style flammability testers. The stainless steel cabinet structure is sturdy and easy to clean, suitable for long-distance sea shipment and varied laboratory environments.
