PG-NF Needle Flame Test Apparatus compares with IEC60695-5-11

1. Application scope
The IEC60695-5-11 specifies a needle test to simulate the effect a small flame which may result from fault conditions, in order to assess by a simulation technique the fire hazard. It is applicable to electro-technical equipment, its sub-assemblies and components and solid electrical insulating materials or other combustible materials. 


2. Description of the test apparatus
1) Burner: the burner to produce the test flame shall consist of a tub at least 35mm long with a bore of 0.5mm±0.1mm and an outer diameter not exceeding 0.9mm.The burner is supplied with butane or propane gas having gas having a purity of at least 95%. 
PG-NF: The burner is made by stainless steel, the size is Φ 0.5mm ± 0.1mm, outer dia.: ≤Φ 0.9mm, Length: 35mm. 

2) Flame: With the axis of the burner in the vertical position, the gas supply is adjusted so that the length of the flame is 12mm±1mm, when viewed in subbdued light against a dark background. The test time for the temperature to increase from 100℃±5℃ to 700℃±3℃ shall be 23.5s±1.0s.
PG-NF: The burner angle can be adjusted at 450 or 900. The flame height is 12mm ± 1mm (with height gauge), the background is black, the flame requirement is rising time from 100℃±2℃ to 700℃±3℃ should within 23.5s±1s.

3) Lab chamber: the lab chamber shall have an inside volume of at least 0.5m3. The chamber shall provide a draught-free environment, whilst allowing normal thermal circulation of air pass the test specimen. The chamber shall permit observation of the test in progress. The inside surfaces of the wall shall be a dark color.
PG-NF: The working dimension is 0.5CBM and made by stainless steel. The equipment with a view-window made by stalinite. 

4) Thermocouple
A sheathed fine wire type K (NiCr/NiAl) with an outer sheath diameter of 0.5mm.
PG-NF: Thermocouple: Φ0.5mm K type

5) Severities
Preferred values of duration of application of test flame are as following: 5s, 10s, 20s, 30s, 60s, 120s
PG-NF：Burning duration: 0-999.9s±0.1s auto record, manual pause

3. Evaluation of test results
The test specimen is considered to have satisfactorily withstood the needle flame test if one of the following situation applies:
a. There is no flame and no glowing of the test specimen and no ignition of the specified layer or wrapping tissue.
b. Flames or glowing of the test specimen and surrounding parts extinguish within 30s after the removal of the needle flame. Also the surrounding parts have not burnt away completely and there has been no ignition of the specified layer or wrapping tissue. 

See from the comparison, PG-NF needle flame test apparatus completely meets the requirement of IEC60695-5-11. Meanwhile, Pego provides the third-Lab Calibration Certificate authorized by CNAS. Welcome to contact us to get more information: sales@pegotester.com

How to conduct the ESD test?

  What is ESD test? Electrostatic discharge immunity test is a basic EMC test . S tandard IEC61000-4-2 provide the immunity requirements and test methods for electrical and electronic equipment subjected to static electricity discharges, from operators directly, and to adjacent objects . T he standard establish a common and reproducible basis for evaluating the performance of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to electrostatic discharges. Electrostatic discharge is a transfer of electric charge between bodies of different electrostatic potential in proximity or through direct contact. The standard IEC61000-4-2 does not intend to specify the tests to be applied to particular apparatus or system, it is to give a general basic reference to all concerned product .   S o before conduct the test, an appropriate test level should be selected according to the product's characters and its working occasion.   Contact discharge and air discharge methods The test leve...

The relationship between standards IEC62262 and IEC60068-2-75

  The IK code is a coding system to indicate the degree of protection provided by an enclosure against harmful external mechanical impacts. The standard IEC62262 defines the impact energy corresponding to different IK codes. In general, the degree of protection applies to the complete enclosure. If parts of the enclosure have differing degrees of protection, the latter shall be indicated separately. IK00 IK01 IK02 IK03 IK04 IK05 IK06 IK07 IK08 IK09 IK10 IK11 0 0.14J 0.2J 0.35J 0.5J 0.7J 1J 2J 5J 10J 20J 50J IK00 - no protection IK01 - withstands 0.14J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.25KG falling from a height of 56mm on the surface) IK02 - Withstand 0.2J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.25KG falling from a height of 80mm on the surface) IK03 - Withstand 0.35J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.2KG falling from a height of 140mm on the surface) IK04 - Withstand 0.5J impact force (equivalent to t...
