Product name：IEC 60335-1 Needle Flame Test Apparatus For Test Flammability And Fire Resistance Of Materials

Product Description

Product overview:
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. This tester conforms to the standard requirement of IEC60695-11-5, required by IEC 60598-1 clause 4.15.1, IEC60335-1 clause 30.2.3.2, Annex E, clause 13.3, etc.

The Needle Flame Tester has advanced PLC control and 7 inch color touch screen, it is suitable for the research, production and quality testing department of lighting equipment, low-voltage apparatus, household appliance, machine tool electric appliance, electrical machine, electric tool, electronic instrument, electrotechnical instrument, electrical connector, electrical and electronical equipment and other components. It is also suitable for insulating material, engineering plastics or other solid combustion material industry.

 

A needle flame test apparatus is a specialized device used to assess the flammability and fire resistance of materials, products, or components when exposed to a small, controlled flame. This test is commonly employed in industries such as electronics, automotive, and building materials to evaluate the fire safety characteristics of various materials. Here are the key features and components typically found in a needle flame test apparatus:

Test Chamber: The apparatus consists of a test chamber or enclosure designed to contain the flame and prevent the spread of fire during the test. The chamber is typically made of fire-resistant materials and may have a transparent viewing window for observation purposes.

Needle Burner: The needle burner is the primary component of the apparatus and produces a small, controlled flame for the test. It typically consists of a calibrated needle-shaped nozzle connected to a gas supply. The nozzle is designed to deliver a specific flame height and temperature.

Gas Supply System: The apparatus incorporates a gas supply system that provides the fuel for the needle burner. This system typically includes a regulated gas source, flow control valves, and safety mechanisms to ensure precise control over the flame parameters.

Ignition System: The apparatus is equipped with an ignition system to initiate the flame on the needle burner. This system can include a spark igniter or a pilot flame to ignite the gas at the burner nozzle.

Temperature Measurement: Temperature measurement devices, such as thermocouples or infrared sensors, are used to monitor and record the temperature during the test. These devices are typically positioned at specific locations within the test chamber to assess the heat exposure to the tested materials.

Sample Holder: The apparatus includes a sample holder or mounting system to securely position the test specimens or components within the test chamber. This ensures consistent and repeatable test conditions for accurate comparisons.

Timer and Control Panel: The apparatus is equipped with a control panel that allows users to set and adjust various parameters, such as test duration, flame application time, and flame height. A timer is typically included to facilitate precise control over the test duration.

Safety Features: Safety considerations are essential in the design of the apparatus to protect operators and prevent accidents. This may include safety interlocks, emergency shut-off systems, protective enclosures, and fire suppression mechanisms to ensure safe operation and contain any potential fire hazards.

Data Acquisition and Analysis: The apparatus may have data acquisition and analysis capabilities to record and analyze the test results. This can include monitoring factors such as flame spread, ignition time, burning rate, and any signs of damage or melting observed during the test.

The needle flame test apparatus is a valuable tool for assessing the flammability and fire resistance of materials and components. By subjecting them to a controlled flame, this test helps identify potential fire hazards, evaluate the effectiveness of fire-resistant materials, and guide the development of safer products. The test results aid in compliance with fire safety regulations, improving the design of materials and components, and ensuring the protection of personnel and property in various industries.
