Single Cable Vertical Flame Tester
Category：Flammability Tester
Introduction
Single Cable Vertical Flame Tester is used for the vertical flame propagation of a single insulated wire or cable is a bench scale test to determine the resistance of a single cable to a 1kW flame application. It conforms to IEC60332-1-2 (flame propagation) and IEC60332-1-3 (test for flaming droplets).
Application
G233 Fabric vertical combustion tester is mainly used to evaluate the combustion characteristics of plastics and other non-metallic materials in fire. It is suitable for lighting equipment, low-voltage electrical appliances, household appliances, machine tools,electrical tools, electronic instruments, electrical instruments, electrical connectors and accessories and other electrical and electronic products and components of the research,production and quality inspection departments, but also suitable for insulation materials,engineering plastics or other solid combustible materials industry. In addition, it can also be used by the plastics industry, inspection departments and scientific research institutions.
