• Pressure application range: 0N to 500N, with a pressure control accuracy of ±0.5N
• Heating rate: adjustable from 1°C/min to 10°C/min to meet different test scenarios
• Material of high-temperature components: heat-resistant stainless steel with a hardness of ≥45HRC
• Equipped with an automatic timing function, supporting timing settings from 1min to 1000min
• Has over-temperature and over-pressure protection functions to ensure test safety
• Control system: touch screen operation with real-time data display and recording functions
• Ambient operating temperature: 10°C to 40°C, relative humidity: ≤85%

Test Procedures:
• Prepare the test specimen (plug, socket-outlet, or related component), ensuring it is clean, undamaged, and meets the pre-test state requirements specified in BS 1363-1.
• Turn on the test apparatus, preheat the system, and set the target temperature, pressure, and holding time according to the test requirements in BS 1363-1 Figure 10.
• Place the specimen in the designated position of the apparatus, ensuring it is firmly fixed and the pressure application point is aligned with the specified area of the specimen.
• Start the temperature rise program, and when the temperature reaches the target value, maintain the temperature for 10 minutes to ensure the specimen is fully heated.
• Activate the pressure application mechanism to apply the specified pressure to the specimen, and start timing while maintaining the pressure and temperature stably.
• During the test, closely monitor the temperature, pressure, and specimen status through the apparatus’s display system, and record relevant data at 5-minute intervals.
• After the holding time is reached, first release the pressure slowly, then stop the heating system and let the specimen cool down to room temperature naturally in the apparatus.
• Take out the cooled specimen, inspect its appearance for deformation, cracking, or melting, and measure relevant dimensional changes if necessary.
• Compare the test results with the acceptance criteria in BS 1363-1 to determine whether the specimen passes the test, and complete the test report.

Applications:
• High-temperature pressure performance testing of 13 A plugs and socket-outlets to verify compliance with BS 1363-1 standards.
• Quality control in the production process of electrical component manufacturers, ensuring that products can withstand high-temperature and pressure environments during use.
• R&D of new plug and socket products, providing data support for optimizing product material selection and structural design.
• Third-party testing and certification institutions to conduct compliance verification for manufacturers and issue test reports.
• Quality auditing and sampling inspection in the electrical product market to ensure the safety and reliability of products circulating in the market.
• Testing of special environment-adapted electrical components, evaluating their performance stability under high-temperature and pressure conditions.
