Glow Wire Testing:
Understanding the Differences: The Equipment complies with IEC 60695 2-11, 2-12, and 2-13 standards. These standards specifically pertain to Glow Wire testing, a critical aspect of fire safety evaluation for materials used in electrical devices and appliances.
Glow Wire Test (GW): This test involves applying a heated wire (glow wire) to a test specimen to assess its flammability and resistance to ignition. The GW test simulates conditions where a heated part of a device could come into contact with a material. The GW1000 facilitates this test, offering accurate and controlled conditions.
Glow Wire Flammability Index (GWFI): The GWFI is the highest test result (temperature) at which a test specimen does not cause ignition or flaming combustion for a specified duration under the conditions of the GW test. It indicates the material's resistance to ignition.
Glow Wire Ignition Temperature (GWIT): The GWIT is the lowest temperature at which the test specimen ignites or shows glowing combustion within a specified time. It provides insight into the material's self-ignition potential.
Norm References: The Equipment complies with the following norms:
IEC 60695 2-11: Fire hazard testing - Part 2-11: Glowing/hot-wire based test methods - Glow-wire ignition temperature (GWIT) test method for materials
