UL1581 Vertical Wire Flame Tester

UL1581 Vertical Wire Flame Tester

   Introduction:   

Cable horizontal and vertical burning test apparatus（VW-1）is designed according to UL1581 sect 1080.1~1080.14, and meet the criteria of VW-1(Vertical-specimen) Flame Test. It can be used to test of 1060 products wire and cable  FT1 and vertical burning test,1080 VW-1 test, 1061 test, 1090 horizontal test and 1100 horizontal specimen or FT2 test;to assess the flame spreading ability to combustible near by of cable or flexible wire when it caught fire.The whole test is carried out in a sealed test chamber with a volume of 4.32 M3.  

   Standard:   

• UL1581 sect 1060~1100

• ASTM D 5025

• ASTM D 5207

   Feature:

2.  The tester is equipped with powerful exhaust fume extractor, when the test is complete, open and air supply system and exhaust to the outdoors, and during the test, the system is closed.

3.  The air throttle is equipped behind the test chamber.After the completion of the test, open the ventilation system to air distribution in the cabinet，But during the testing, the air door should be closed.

4.  The glass viewing window is on the front box, allowing easy observation during the test.

5.  The test chamber is equipped with sealed glove to operate the burner inside.

6.  Test chamber size: available space 2.1M (l) *1M (w) *2.1M (h), capacity: 4.48m3. Dimensions 2.4m (l) *1M (w) *2.3M (h).

Temperature measurement system

1.  A thermal sensor (copper tubing and thermocouples)-tube structure should be very high conductivity electrolytic copper. Length of 19.14 ± 0.02mm.

2.  K-thermocouple, 0.5mm diameter of stainless steel tubes as a sleeve.

3.  The digital temperature meter with match with imports K-type thermocouple, which readings greater than 1000 degrees centigrade.

4.  Equipped with electronic stopwatch: accurate to 0.1s.

Apparatus and Fixture

1.  The main fixtures include test stand and burner fixture.
