Key Features
- Evaluates the incombustibility of uniform and non-uniform building materials to ISO 1182 (Reaction to fire tests for building products — Non-combustibility test) and KS F ISO 1182, the only FESTEC tester to satisfy both simultaneously
- Single-zone furnace with a NIKROTHAL ribbon heater runs up to 900°C, held stable at 750 ±5°C for over 60 minutes by a module-type TPR temperature controller
- Automatic up/down specimen movement positions the sample correctly and keeps results consistent regardless of operator, with a mirror to observe ignition quality during the test
- RS 232C communication and a DAQ board interface drive fully automatic PC-based testing, with alarm-temperature over-current shut-off for user safety and software to print standards-based reports
- Reports mass loss and rate, ignition time and sustained flaming, initial/maximum/final furnace and specimen-centre temperatures, and differential results against ISO 1182:1990, KS F ISO 1182:2004, IMO FTP Code Pt.1:1998 and KS F 2271:1998
- 400 × 330 × 1,650mm furnace unit on AC 220V single-phase power, with hood, duct and dust-collector utilities
About the Non-Combustibility Tester
The Non-Combustibility Tester (model FT-NC-502) from FT Solutions Co., Ltd. (FESTEC), South Korea, evaluates the incombustibility of uniform and non-uniform building materials to ISO 1182 (reaction to fire tests for building products, non-combustibility test) and KS F ISO 1182. FESTEC describes it as the only FESTEC tester that satisfies both standards at the same time.
A single-zone furnace with a NIKROTHAL ribbon heater runs up to 900 °C and is held at 750 ±5 °C for over 60 minutes by a module-type TPR temperature controller. Automatic up and down specimen movement positions the sample the same way every time, so results do not depend on the operator, and a mirror lets the operator watch ignition. RS 232C communication and a DAQ board drive fully automatic PC-based testing with an alarm-temperature over-current shut-off, and the software prints standards-based reports of mass loss and rate, ignition time, sustained flaming, and furnace and specimen temperatures.

Non-Combustibility Tester: frequently asked questions
What does the Non-Combustibility Tester measure?
It measures the rise in furnace temperature, the mass loss and the ignition of a specimen, to judge whether a building material is non-combustible under ISO 1182. Reported values include mass loss in grams and per cent, ignition time and sustained flaming, and initial, maximum and final furnace and specimen-centre temperatures.
Which standards does the FT-NC-502 satisfy?
ISO 1182 and KS F ISO 1182, both at the same time. It can also report differential results against ISO 1182:1990, KS F ISO 1182:2004, IMO FTP Code Part 1:1998 and KS F 2271:1998.
How stable is the furnace temperature?
A module-type TPR temperature controller holds the furnace at 750 ±5 °C for over 60 minutes. The single-zone furnace with a NIKROTHAL ribbon heater can operate up to 900 °C.
What are the installation requirements for the FT-NC-502?
The furnace unit measures 400 × 330 × 1,650 mm and stands on a 1,500 × 600 × 800 mm table. It needs an AC 220 V, 50/60 Hz, 15 A supply, plus hood, duct and dust-collector extraction.
