Equipment Overview

This device simulates the thermal stress test of glowing component or heat source like overload resistance or ignition source which is caused in s short time. It is suitable for electric and electronic products, household appliances and other material to do fire hazard testing. It is also used in the No flame ignition source fire test to test initiation temperature and flammability index of related glowing filament.

This instrument adopts a new design concept and uses an advanced digital stepping motor to achieve precise positioning, and at the same time, realize rapid adjustment after specimen replacement, which truly meets the requirements of simple and convenient operation. The control system adopts PLC+HMI+stepping motor+computer control, each parameter can reflect the real situation of relevant parameters, which is more real-time and accurately, the test data can be saved and queried, test report can be generated and be printed out directly. The operation is intuitive and convenient, meeting the needs of scientific research, far exceeding similar products.

Equipment Feature

a. Adopting advanced Mitsubishi PLC control, and 7 inch Weinview color touch screen

b. Equipped with HP computer (i7, 8G RAM, 512 SSD, Windows 10) and HP color printer for data storage and reports printing.

c. It is with solenoid valve switch to control the burning depth of test sample and equipped with measuring gauge, this device has the features of exact and rapid.

d. It is with built-in voltage stabilization, the output voltage is stable and accuracy.

e. It is with current regulation, the output current is stepless adjustable.

f. The test sample will break away automatically from glowing filament after reaching the set time.

g. Adopting the original imported UK BB K type armour (1mm) whose temperature resistance is up to 1100°(exceed 1050°of standard requirement) , this device is with accuracy temperature control.

h. The glow-wire tester is with a chamber, a fan is installed in side of the chamber, and there is a φ100mm gas vent on the top of the chamber. After completion of the testing, the fan will work automatically to disperse the gas out of the chamber through the gas vent.
