Needle-Flame Test Apparatus For Fire Hazard Testing - Touch Screen Operation
Introduction:
The best method for testing electrotechnical products with regard
to fire hazard is to duplicate exactly the conditions occurring in
practice. In most instances this is not possible.
Accordingly, for practical reasons, the testing of electrotechnical
products with regard to fire hazard is best conducted by simulating
as closely as possible the actual effects occurring in practice. Flammability Testing Equipment
Parts of electrotechnical equipment which might be exposed to
excessive thermal stress due to electric effects, the deterioration
of which might impair the safety of the equipment, should not be
unduly affected by heat and by fire generated within the equipment.
Parts of insulating material or of other combustible material which
are liable to propagate flames inside the equipment may be ignited
by flames produced by a failing component. Flammability Testing Equipment
Under certain conditions, for example a fault current flowing over
a tracking path, overloading of components or parts and bad
connections, flames may also occur; such flames may impinge upon
combustible parts in the vicinity.
Standard:IEC60695-11-5 Test flames-Needle-flame test method-Apparatus,confirmatory test arrangement and guidance
Application:This part of IEC60695 specifies a needle-flame test to simulate the effect of a samll flame which may result from fault condition, in order to assess by a simulation technique the fire hazard.
Test sample:Lighting, low-voltage electrical appliances, household appliances, machine tool electric appliance, electric motor, electric tools, electronic instruments, electrical instruments, electrical connector, such as electrical and electronic equipment and parts, components, including insulation materials, engineering plastic or other solid combustible materials. Flammability Testing Equipment
Feature:The Needle Flame Tester consists of a Ф0.9mm needle-shaped burner that tilts with the angel of 45°and provide it with butane gas. The fire hazard of the equipment when there is flammule inside the equipment that caused due to the fault condition is assessed by whether the specimen can be ignited or the combustion time and length.
