Flame Retardancy Tester as per IEC 60903

Flame Retardancy Tester is the test equipment you need for conducting Flame Retardancy Test as per clause 5.8.2 of IEC 60903. As per the standard, a finger from a glove or mitt is cut, filled with pop & mounted on the steel shaft which is 5mm in diameter and 120mm in length. The shaft is centered on the interior of the finger & inserted to midpoint. A small burner is arranged in a vertical position below the unit under test. The burner is ignited using the controls on the equipment and the flame is applied to the unit under test in accordance with the conditions in clause 5.8.2 of IEC 60903. The flame is thus applied and the propagation of flame on the test piece is captured. This equipment can also be used for the tests as per UL 94, ASTM D 5025, BS EN EN 60903 and GB/T 17622:2008

  • PLC to control the sequence of operation and display the Test Proceedings.
  • Ball Screw Type sliding mechanism for vertical and horizontal movement.
  • Enclosure with 0.5 cubic meter internal volume (Draught Free Conditions).
  • Bunsens Burner with 9 to 10 mm diameter with regulator and needle flame diameter 0.5 in order to produce a 20mm +/-2mm high blue flame.
  • Test time for temperature to increase from 100° C +/- 5° C to 700° C +/- will be 10 +/- 1 sec.
  • The gas supply shall be technical grade methane gas with a suitable regulator and meter to produce a uniform gas flow. If natural gas is used as an alternative to methane, its heat content should be approximately 37 MJ/m3 which has been found to provide similar results.
  • The Propagation of the flame on the test sample will be observed for 55 Sec. after the withdrawal of the testing flame.
  • Samples Length – 60mm to 70mm & Steel shaft 5mm diameter and 120mm long
  • Test time in second.
  • The test will be carried out in Draught Free Condition.
  • Observation of test from outside from mirror.
  • Chamber from inside should be dark.
  • Exhaust to remove product of combustion after Test Over.
  • Timing device tolerance not more than 0.5s.
  • This device can ignite and close the test flame, START and STOP the test manually done by operator.

  • With PC Data-Logging System
  • The system will be integrated with LabVIEW/PC based test software for automatic operation & test sequence.
  • Sequence of operations is through PC and DAQ system.
  • Setting and control of Heating will be through the PC.
  • Test Time, Application time will be settable. The PC will record Ignition time with manual input from the operator. MySQL or any database of your choice will be used.
  • Results will be stored on PC as per test samples & Date. You can generate reports in your lab’s template automatically on PDF or MS Office format
  • PC will be of either Dell OR HP make. OS will be Windows 11 licence.
