EN 60695­11­10 Vertical Flame Test


The EN 45545­2 specifies the EN 60695­11­10 for testing small electro­technical products, e.g. lower power circuit breakers, overload relays, contactors, etc.


The FTT EN 60695­11­10 Vertical Flame Test Apparatus features digital test duration timers, high precision gas control system and a bench mounted draft free stainless steel combustion chamber having a large inside volume. The chamber is fitted with an interior light and exhaust fan to enable simple evacuation of combustion products from the tests. The apparatus can also comply with UL 94 and several FAR Bunsen burner tests with addition of the dedicated accessories.

HL1 R26 Vertical small flame test


The EN ISO 1182 Non­Combustibility Test and EN ISO 1716 Bomb Calorimeter are specified in the EN 13501­1 to classify A1 class construction products. Brake resistors used in rolling stock, e.g. casing and any heat shields, are tested to this Euroclass criteria. The EN ISO 1182 test identifies products that will not, or significantly not, contribute to a fire, regardless of their end use. The FTT system has been designed with significant new features. Rather than the traditional variac control, where it is possible to supply too high a current to the heater element during the heating cycle, FTT has automated the process by using modern electronics which considerably extend the life of the furnace.
