• Abstract:
  A new and improved burner was developed to test the fire penetration resistance of thermal acoustic insulation in accordance with Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 25.856 (b). This next-generation (NexGen) burner was developed mainly to provide industry with an alternative to the currently accepted burner apparatus manufactured by Park Electric Motors of Atlantic City, NJ. Title 14 CFR 25.856 was written based on the use of the Park DPL 3400 burner; however, the company stopped production of this apparatus shortly after the new test method became final in 2003. The NexGen burner can be considered a direct replacement to the Park-manufactured burner, with several key improvements.
