Glow Wire Tester GWT-500: Flammability & Ignition Risk Assessment​

Overview
The GWT-500 simulates electrical component overheating to assess flammability risks in plastics, textiles, and circuit board materials (IEC 60695, UL 746A). Critical for electronics manufacturers and safety regulators, it ensures compliance with global fire safety standards through precise glow wire ignition testing.

Core Features

• Adjustable Glow Wire: Heated nichrome wire (550–1000°C) with 0.1°C temperature control accuracy.
• Automated Contact Pressure: Maintains 1–10 N force during 30-second dwell time for consistent results.
• Flame Propagation Timer: Measures ignition delay and flame spread duration with ±0.1s precision.
• Safety Integration: Smoke/UV sensors trigger automatic shutdown in case of unintended combustion.

Applications

• Consumer Electronics: Test casings, chargers, and connectors for UL/IEC compliance.
• Automotive: Validate dashboard and seating material fire resistance.
• Aerospace/Telecom: Certify insulation materials for extreme heat exposure.

Compliance
IEC 60695-2-10, UL 746A, GB/T 5169, EN 60695.

Optional Add-Ons

• High-speed pyrolysis imaging (10,000 fps)
• Multi-layer sample holder for composite materials
• Customizable test reports with pass/fail thresholds

Conclusion
The GWT-500 provides critical data to mitigate fire hazards in electronics and industrial applications. By simulating real-world thermal stress scenarios, it empowers manufacturers to enhance material safety, reduce recalls, and meet stringent regulatory requirements.
