UL 1581 VW-1/ FT2 Horizontal and Vertical Flame Test Flammability Test Chamber
Complied Standards & Clauses
This flammability test chamber meets the requirements of the UL1581 and UL94 flame tests.
Equipment Overview
This flammability test chamber meets the requirements of UL1581 and UL94 flame test. The effects of flames in the early stages of fire on electrical and electronic products are used to assess the degree of fire hazard through simulation techniques. It is mainly used for 1080 VW-1 (vertical-specimen) flame test and 1100 horizontal-specimen/ FT2 flame test on finished wires and cables or cords, to evaluate the ability of wires, cables or flexible cords to spread flame to nearby flammable materials when it is on fire.
