Flammability Tester
a. Model A
b. Model B
The ability of non-metallic helmets used by policemen to withstand flame without getting damaged is determined by holding the helmet over a suitable head-form as in normal use and applying the flame from a Barthel burner on its outside at right angle to the outer surface. The helmet is turned through one complete rotation under the flame, and the effect of flame on the helmet observed to evaluate its resistance to flaming.
