Aviation Testing Instruments
Our target is not the certification laboratory but the in-house laboratory of the supplier feeding the cabin: the lab that screens material before it goes to the specification test. Our catalogue covers abrasion, fastness, ageing, strength and conditioning today. The FAR / CS-25.853 Appendix F rigs are BUILT TO ORDER to the specimen holder, burner and cabinet geometry described in the standard — they are not catalogue stock items and lead time is quoted per project.

Built to order
These rigs are not catalogue stock. They are manufactured to the specimen holder, burner/heat source and cabinet geometry described in the standard; lead time and price are quoted per project. The instrument is delivered with a calibration report — which is not a certificate of conformity.
- FAR / CS-25.853 Appendix F Part I — 12 s and 60 s vertical Bunsen rig; 45° and 60° configurations in the same cabinet
- FAR / CS-25.853 Appendix F Part II — 60° cable and wire insulation burn rig
- FAR / CS-25.853 Appendix F Part V — ASTM E662 smoke density chamber (optical smoke only)
- FAR / CS-25.853 Appendix F Part IV — OSU rate of heat release (65/65) rig: per project, long lead time
- FAR / CS-25.853 Appendix F Part III — seat cushion oil burner rig: per project
Not supplied
- Toxic gas analysis (Airbus ABD 0031, Boeing BSS 7239, FTP Part 2 toxicity) — the gas analyser / FTIR is not of our manufacture, not supplied
- Fuselage burnthrough (Appendix F Part VII) — not supplied
- Fire resistance furnaces (ISO 834, EN 1363) — not supplied
- Composite and metal coupon tensile (ASTM D3039, ISO 6892) — our universal tester goes up to 5 kN and is NOT sufficient for these tests
- Approval and accreditation: an instrument does not issue a certificate of conformity. FAA / EASA acceptance depends on the authority and on the laboratory's accreditation
