Summary of Test Method4.1 In this test method, a standardized test specimen (either square or round), is supported vertically and is exposed to electricalheating from a glow-wire set

22、at pre-determined temperatures. The minimum temperature for glow-wire ignition is assessed throughtesting at incremental temperatures.5. Significance and Use5.1 During operation of electrical equipment, including wires, resistors, and other conductors, it is possible for overheating tooccur under ce

23、rtain conditions of operation, or when malfunctions occur. When this happens, a possible result is ignition of theadjacent insulation material.5.2 This test method assesses the susceptibility of electrical insulating materials to ignition as a result of exposure to a glowingwire.5.3 This test method

24、 determines the minimum temperature required to ignite a material by the effect of a glowing heat source,under the specified conditions of test.5.4 This method is suitable, subject to the appropriate limitations of an expected precision of 615 %, to categorize materials.5.5 In this procedure, the sp

25、ecimens are subjected to one or more specific sets of laboratory conditions. If different testconditions are substituted or the end-use conditions are changed, it is not always possible by or from this test to predict changesin the fire-test-response characteristics measured.Therefore, the results a

Examples of suitable wire compositions are Nickel-Chromium (NiCr) andNickel-Aluminum (NiAl).6.2.1 Construct the thermocouple sheath of a metal that will allow the thermocouple to perform its function in air at sheathtemperatures of at least 1050 C. 1050C.Arrange the th

29、ermocouple is arranged in a pocket hole, drilled in the tip of the glow-wire,as shown in Fig. 1. Maintain the thermal contact between the walls of the bored hole in the glow-wire by pinning the sheathedthermocouple in place. Ensure that the thermocouple follows the movement of the tip of the glow-wi

30、re resulting from elongationcaused by thermal heating.6.3 Temperature IndicatorUse a temperature indicator for Type K thermocouples capable of reading up to 1000 C. 1000C.Calibrate the combination thermocouple and temperature indicator in accordance with the general procedures outlined in TestMethod

The test chamber shall be positively vented to the outside of the test facility before

35、 and after the test, but it shallremain closed and unvented during the test. The chamber shall be equipped with an observation window.7. Test Specimen7.1 Prepare square specimens that are approximately 60 60 mm or round specimens that are approximately 60 mm in diameter,and of a thickness commonly e

36、ncountered in practice. Thicknesses less than 0.25 mm or greater than 6.4 mm are not valid for thistest method. Generally, ten specimens will suffice to complete the procedure specified in Section 9.D6194 1438. Conditioning8.1 Condition specimens, test board and tissue paper at 23 6 2 C 2C and 50 6

37、5 % relative humidity for at least 40 h priorto testing.9. Safety Precautions9.1 It is possible that fumes and products of incomplete combustion are liberated from the specimen when conducting this test.Avoid the inhalation of such fumes and products of combustion and exhaust them from the test cham

Adju

40、st the equipment so the depth of penetration is limited to 7 mmbelow the surface of the specimen. Shield the specimen during the heating of the glow-wire.10.3 Close the chamber vents and doors, making the test chamber draft free, and heat the glow-wire to the pre-determinedtemperature. Use the calib

Maintain the pre-selected glow-wiretemperature for at least 60 s prior to conducting the test.10.4 Bring the specimen in contact with the tip of the glow-wire at an applied force of 1.0 6 0.2 N for 30 6 1 s.NOTE 2The glow-wire temperature will

42、decrease when the tip contacts the test specimen.10.5 Observe to see whether ignition occurs during the application of the glow-wire (see 3.2.1). For the purposes of this test,ignition will be deemed to have occurred if either sustained flaming occurs (appearance of a flame on the surface of the tes
