Description

Instrument Principle

This instrument is designed to testing cables for resistance to fire of cable required to maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions. The instrument is applicable to cables of rated voltage not exceeding 600/1000 V and of overall diameter less than or equal to 20mm (as per BS 6387) and diameter exceeding 20mm (as per BS 7846).

The instrument is designed

Test cables under three protocols as per BS 6387:2013, BS 7846:2009 and BS 8491:2008 for

Protocol C: subject the cable under test to a flame via direct impingement corresponding to a temperature attach of 950oC

Protocol W: subject the cable under test to a flame via direct impingement corresponding to a temperature attach of 650oC with direct application of water simulating a sprinkler system.

Protocol Z: subject the cable under test to a flame via direct impingement corresponding to a temperature attach of 950oC with indirect application of mechanical shock.

Category F2: Resistance to Fire, Resistance to fire with water, resistance to Fire with Mechanical Shock assessed separately as per BS 6387

Category F30: Resistance to Fire with direct mechanical impact and water assessed in combination when tested as per BS 8491:2008 for 30 min

Category F60: Resistance to Fire with direct mechanical impact and water assessed in combination when tested as per BS 8491:2008 for 60 min.

Category F120: Resistance to Fire with direct mechanical impact and water assessed in combination when tested as per BS 8491:2008 for 120 min.

The instrument can be bought as complete unit or can be bought as piece meal as per customer requirement.

Instrument

The Instrument Consist of

 

Burner (for Protocol C) : Tube Type LPG / propane  gas burner. Overall length of the nozzle is  610mm.
Burner (for Protocol W and Z ) : Ribbon Type LPG / propane  gas burner. Overall length of the nozzle is  500mm.
