IEC 60695-2-10, ASTM D6194, UL746A
The test equipment is used to investigate the fire-resistant properties of raw materials and finished components. Our test apparatus has been ergonomically designed to meet the above EN and IEC standards.
The glow-wire itself is the source of the fire. The initial temperature of the glow-wire is set and controlled by a temperature programmer. During a test, the temperature controller can be switched to manual mode to produce a constant voltage signal to the glow-wire, thus avoiding the sample to a variation in output power, which would otherwise be feedback from the control thermocouple.
Specification & Features
- Test apparatus conveniently mounted on control panel
- Glow-wire probe as per standard
- Stainless steel specimen holder
- Temperature controller with constant voltage output with control optimisation
- Linear drive with defined velocity
The temperature of the glow-wire can be set from room temperature to 1000°C.
The temperature of the glow-wire is detected by a sheathed thermocouple type K (class 1) in accordance with IEC 60584-2.
During the test the specimen is moved towards the glow-wire at a constant velocity of 11 mm/sec and then back again.
The heating time of 30 seconds is quartz controlled.
The specimen support is pulled toward the glow-wire with a force of 1 N.
Technical Data & Requirements
- Test apparatus conveniently mounted on control panel
- The power supply is 230 VAC ± 10% (50 Hz)
