NEXGEN Aviation Fuel Burner for FAA fire Test
Category：Flammability Tester
Introduction
The NEXGEN Aviation Fuel Burner is an FAA-approved, next-generation aircraft fuel combustion testing instrument. It builds upon the operational principles of previous FAA-recognized burners, including Park DPL 3400. Lennox Model OB-32. and Carlin Model 200 CRD, which are now discontinued. You can use the NexGen Burner to precisely control fuel and airflow parameters during tests while maintaining compatibility with future FAA upgrades. This burner supports a wide range of aviation fuel combustion tests, ensuring accurate, reproducible evaluation of flame spread, heat release, and fire resistance for aircraft materials.
