The ASTM E162/D3675 fire tester is used to measure the sur­ face flammability of materials and products. The specimen is heated by a radiator and then additionally exposed to a flame.

The specimen, which is inclined at an angle of 30º to the vertical, is heated by a vertically arranged radiant heater. At the upper edge closer to the radiator surface, the specimen is ignited by a burner.
