Exploring the Application and Performance Evaluation of Wire and Cable Flame Tester in Flammability Tests for Electrical Cables

Flammability Tests for Electrical Cables: A Dedicated Testing Instrument to Explore the Flammabilityof Large and Small Wires in Vertical Burning State. This instrument adopts a specified size Bunsen burner and a specific gas source (propane), and performs timed burning on the test sample according to standard flame height and angle, and evaluates the Flammability and fire hazard of the sample by observing ignition, burning duration, and burning length. It is suitable for wires and cables with a diameter larger than 8mm (cross-sectional area larger than 0.5mm2) or smaller than 8mm (cross-sectional area smaller than 0.5mm2).

Outstanding Functions of  Wire and Cable Flame Tester:
Wire and Cable Flame Tester is a fire resistance equipment specially designed and produced for GB/T18380.11, 12, 13, 21, 22 and other relevant standards. It can perfectly simulate the vertical burning performance of a single insulated wire and cable and has many admirable features. The Wire and Cable Flame Tester can automatically ignite and shut down the test flame, automatically time and end the test, store, print and query the test results, and has high accuracy and simple operation.

The working principle of the Wire and Cable Flame Tester is based on using a specified size Bunsen burner and a specific gas source (propane), and timing the test sample under a certain flame height and angle (0 ~ 90°). By observing the parameters of ignition, sustained burning duration and burning length of the test sample, the Flammability and fire hazard can be determined. This method has been widely used to evaluate the fire performance of wire and cable materials, providing important reference data for production companies.

Functions and Application Range of Single Wire and Cable Flame Tester:
Wire and Cable Flame Tester is a testing equipment used to determine the non-flammability performance of materials such as plastic cables, control cables, cross-linked cables, elevator cables, ship cables, and mining cables. At the same time, it can also be used to test the vertical burning performance of highly self-extinguishing, low-smoke and halogen-free flame retardant polyolefin insulation and 105°C low-smoke and halogen-free flame retardant polyphenylene insulation materials. In addition, the Wire and Cable Flame Tester is also suitable for research, production and quality inspection departments of electrical and electronic products and their component parts, such as lighting equipment, low-voltage electrical appliances, household appliances, machine tool electrical appliances, motors, power tools, electronic instruments, electrical instruments, electrical connectors and accessories. Through the above tests, the product can ensure compliance with relevant safety standards and national regulations, effectively guaranteeing safe use for users.

Advantages of Wire and Cable Combustion Tester:
1. Reliable validation of safety performance
The safety performance of wires and cables is directly related to the safety of people’s lives and property. The Single Wire and Cable Vertical Combustion Tester can reliably validate the safety performance of wires and cables in a laboratory environment, providing important guarantees for the safe use of wire and cable products.

2. Accurate and reliable results
By simulating the burning situation of wires and cables after ignition, the Single Wire and Cable Vertical Combustion Tester can perform combustion tests on wires and cables. The test results are accurate and reliable, and can evaluate the burning performance and other relevant indicators of wires and cables, providing a basis for judging product quality.

3. Improving competitiveness
The wide application of wires and cables makes their quality directly related to the economic benefits and market competitiveness of enterprises. The detection of the Single Wire and Cable Vertical Combustion Tester can find defects and deficiencies in products, improve and upgrade them in a timely manner, improve product quality and enhance corporate competitiveness.
