Oil Burner Testing – Now Available at QCM Flamelab

We’re thrilled to announce that our Oil Burner testing for Seat Cushions is now available at QCM Flamelab!

Using a 1,200°C high-intensity open flame, we can simulate an accident where fuel enters the cabin. This allows us to evaluate the safety and performance of aircraft seat cushions to ensure they comply with the requirements of FAR 25.853 App. F Part II.

The next generation sonic burner we’ve invested in is the only test stand of its kind in Poland, and one of ten in Europe. Because it’s fully automated and offers high stability during testing, test results are more accurate, and repeatability and data acquisition post-testing are improved.

As per all our fire testing, QCM Flamelab offers a 26 hour lead time on all samples (no waitlist or appointments necessary!), and unlimited access to all test results, including video recordings.
