IEC60332-3 Test apparatus for Vertical Flame Propagation of Bundles
of Wires and Cables
Product description:
This equipment is used to evaluate the vertical installation of
bunched wire and cable or fiber optic cable under the specified
conditions to inhibit the ability of the vertical flame propagation
device, the device shell is made of full SUS304 stainless steel,
the whole by the test box, air source, steel ladder , emissions
purification system, ignition source and other components.

Device composition:
1. Test Chamber
The experimental device is a self-supporting box with a width of
(1000±100) mm, a depth of (2000±100) mm, and a height (4000 of 100)
mm. The back wall and both sides of the test chamber are made of
thermal insulation with a heat transfer coefficient of
approximately 0.7W, m-2K-1 (consisting of a 1.5mm thick SUS304
stainless steel plate, covered with a 65mm thick insulating mineral
fiber), and an external wall. The door uses 1.5mm thick US304
stainless steel.
2. Air source
2.1 The air inlet is equipped with an air blower with adjustable
air flow, and the air flow rate is (5000±500)L/mn to the combustion
chamber. The air outlet is equipped with a digital anemometer.
2.2 After the test is completed: if the sample is still burning for
one hour after the stop of the fire, an alarm is set and the device
for stopping the combustion by the south force is used.
3. Copper ladder type
wide (500 ± 5) mm standard steel ladder width (800 ± 10) mm wide
steel ladder made of SUS304 stainless steel bar exhaust
purification device test chamber with exhaust fan on the top, the
exhaust gas inside the box Withdraw the box at 6MS speed and send
it to a smoke collection tower with a digital display anemometer.
4. Emissions purification device
4.1 The upper part of the test box is equipped with an exhaust fan,
and the box type exhaust gas is pumped out of the box at a speed of
6M/S. The smoke collection tower is sent out, and the exhaust vent
has a digital anemometer.
4.2 Smoke collection and washing Dust and dust devices (See DX-349A
Spray Gas Absorption Tower): Internal acid and alkali resistant
plastics, 800mm diameter, 4000mm height
5.1 Type: The ignition source shall include one or two band-type
propane gas burners and their associated flow meters and venturi
mixers. The surface of the fire supply should be 242 flat metal
plates with a diameter of 1.32 mm. The center distance of these
holes is 3.2 mm and they are staggered in three rows with 81, 80
and 81 rows respectively. The size is in the range of 257×4.5 mm.
In addition, a row of small holes are opened on both sides of the
fire board. These guide holes can maintain the stable combustion of
the flame in accordance with GB/T 18380.31-2008 torch requirements.
5.2 Each torch is equipped with a rotameter or mass flow meter that
can accurately control the flow of propane and air. Propane flow
meter: 3-30umin2.5 class, air flow meter: 10-100umin 2.5 class 53
pilot source position Place horizontally, (75 ± 5) mm from the
front surface of the cable specimen, (600 ± 5) mm from the bottom
of the chamber, and the axis of the copper ladder is symmetrical.
The torch fire point should be centered between the two crosspieces
of the ladder and at least 500 mm from the lower end of the
specimen.
