Custom Designed Fire Resistance Test Furnaces

In addition to standard designs, we also manufacture fire resistance test furnaces custom built to exact specifications.

Custom furnaces can be supplied with openings to conduct 3D beam column test on shear connectors and ventilation ducts. Zone control for heating the space above or beneath the ceiling can be provided.

Designs are available with rapid temperature rise to meet the most stringent hydrocarbon firing curves such as the RWS, RABT-ZTV and UL 1709.

Service teams are available for on-site service work when needed. Systems are available as a turn-key package with installation and start-up by CMTS personnel upon request. Modernizing of Furnace Controls, programming of Fire Data Management System and rebuilding furnace refractories is available onsite at your facility.

From preliminary design to end product together with training to set up fire resistance tests, we are ready to help you deliver a more productive fire testing service to the industry!
