GLOWWIRE-500: Flammability Risk Assessor for Plastics & Textiles

Panoramica
The GLOWWIRE-500 simulates electrical component overheating to assess flammability risks in plastics, textiles, and circuit board materials (IEC 60695, UL 746A). Critical for electronics manufacturers and safety regulators, it ensures compliance with global fire safety standards through precise glow wire ignition testing.

Caratteristiche principali

1. Adjustable Glow Wire: Heated nichrome wire (550–1,000°C) with 0.1°C temperature control accuracy.
2. Automated Contact Pressure: Maintains 1–10 N force during 30-second dwell time for consistent results3. Flame Propagation Timer: Measures ignition delay and flame spread duration with ±0.1s precision.
3. Safety Integration: Smoke/UV sensors trigger automatic shutdown in case of unintended combustion.

Applicazioni

• Consumer Electronics: Test casings, chargers, and connectors for UL/IEC compliance.
• Automotive: Validate dashboard and seating material fire resistance.
• Aerospaziale: Certify insulation materials for extreme heat exposure.

Conformità
IEC 60695-2-10, UL 746A, GB/T 5169.

Componenti aggiuntivi opzionali

• High-speed pyrolysis imaging (10,000 fps).
• Multi-layer sample holders for composite materials.

Conclusione
The GLOWWIRE-500 delivers critical data to mitigate fire hazards in electronics and industrial applications, empowering manufacturers to enhance material safety and meet stringent regulatory requirements.
