Prometheus Developments: Fire Testing

Fire Testing

Prometheus Developments maintains a number of test facilities for testing materials to reaction to fire and to fire protection standards. We construct these pieces of equipment in order to accelerate our own developments. This equipment miniaturises large scale tests where necessary allowing rapid turn round of multiple data from small scale, bench prepared samples enabling us to predict their full scale test performance.

This apparatus is available for clients to use as a tool in their own product developments without involving us in their R&D. For fire protection we can simulate BS 476 parts 20-24 and ASTM E119. The furnace can also reproduce the hydrocarbon curve. For reaction to fire we can either simulate or undertake on non-certified apparatus:

ASTM E84
FAR25 appendix G
FVP 3020
EN 13238
EN 9239
EN 11925
BS 476 part 6
DIN 4102 parts 2, 6 and 7
