Product Description
Key Stroke Glow-Wire Test Machine
Model: GC-ZRS-A
Glow Wire Tester: Comprehensive Fire Hazard Evaluation for Materials
A. Product Introduction
The Glow Wire Tester is an essential apparatus for assessing the fire hazard potential of materials used in electrical and electronic equipment. It accurately simulates, under controlled laboratory conditions, the severe thermal stress imposed by overheating or faulty components—such as glowing elements, overloaded resistors, or poor electrical connections—in the event of short-circuit or overload failures.
This simulation is critical for evaluating a material's resistance to ignition, flame persistence, and its ability to prevent the spread of fire. By applying a precisely heated glow wire to the test specimen under a defined force, the apparatus provides a reliable and reproducible method for determining material behavior under extreme thermal stress.
