Common test methods for cables under fire conditions-Heat release and smoke production measurement on cables during flame spread test

Wire and Cable Fire Resistance Tester

1.Application

This test apparatus to be used for testing cables required to maintain circuit integrity when subject to fire alone or fire with shock where the test condition is based upon flame with a controlled heat output corresponding to a temperature of at least 750˚C or fire with shock at a temperature of at least 830 °C.

2.Key Parameters

Structured with 3 rows of cross holes, Average front width of burner: 15mm, Hole diameter: 1.32mm, Distance between the center: 3.2mm

The current is provided by a three-phase star transformer with sufficient capacity to maintain the required test voltage when circuit integrity cannot be maintained.

Imported pressure reducing valve can provide an outlet pressure of 0.1Mpa±3pa;

When circuit integrity cannot be maintained, the corresponding indicator lamp is extinguished, the computer automatically determines the state and records the time, and sends out the sound and light alarm.

Wire and Cable Heat Release Test Device

 1.Application
EN 50399 specifies the apparatus and methods of test for the assessment of vertical flame spread, heat release and smoke production of vertically-mounted bunched wires or cables, electrical or optical, under defined conditions.
2.Key parameters
A flame trap is installed at the front side of the burner of the vertical flame spread tester to prevent backfire by propane to ensure the utmost safety.
Exhaust system consists of smoke collection hood,exhaust duct, air inlet system, Centrifugal fan and frequency converter.
The duct section houses all gas sampling probes, temperature and mass flow probes and has ports for the smoke measuring system.
Paramagnetic oxygen analyzer, using the method of paramagnetic change to measure the concentration of oxygen in the gas. Concentration range of 0-25%.
Equipped with a set of gas collection probe device, connected by PTFE pipe, can collect corrosive gas;
