Needle Flame Test Seconds Equipment KP-FT03 – KingPo IEC60695-11-5 High Accuracy Flammability Tester

Needle Flame Test Seconds Equipment – IEC60695-11-5 Flammability Simulation

The Needle Flame Test Seconds equipment is a specialized fire hazard simulation system designed to replicate small flames from internal electrical faults. It uses a stainless steel needle burner with butane gas to apply a 12mm flame at 45° for a controlled duration (typically 30s) to the specimen, assessing ignition, sustained burning time, and flame spread on insulating materials and components per IEC60695-11-5:2016. This test is widely applied in household appliances, lighting fixtures, low-voltage apparatus, and engineering plastics to verify fire safety under fault conditions.

Professional Construction & Technical Precision

Key features include:

• Needle Burner: Stainless steel construction, inner diameter Φ0.5 ± 0.1mm, length ≥35mm – ensures consistent flame geometry and repeatability
• Flame Height & Angle: 12mm ± 1mm, adjustable 0°/45° – confirmed via copper block (4mm ±0.01mm, 0.58g ±0.01g) temperature rise from 100°C ±2°C to 700°C ±3°C in 23.5s ±1s
• Timing System: Ignition 0–999.9s ±0.1s, burning duration recording – single-chip microcomputer + touch screen for automatic control
• Thermocouple: K-type Φ0.5mm armored – withstands -40°C to 1100°C with ±0.05% accuracy for real-time flame verification
• Ventilation & Chamber: Independent exhaust system, chamber volume ≥0.5m³ – maintains stable test conditions and safe operation
• Gas Supply: Butane ≥95% purity – specified fuel for standardized flame power

These elements provide accurate simulation of fault-induced flames with repeatable results.

Primary Use Cases & Business Value

The Needle Flame Test Seconds equipment supports critical stages:

• Material Qualification – Evaluate plastics and insulators for ignition resistance in household appliances and lighting
• Component Safety Validation – Test connectors, enclosures, and internal parts to prevent fire spread from arcing faults
• Product Certification – Generate traceable data for IEC60695-11-5 compliance in electrotechnical equipment
• Production Quality Control – Batch verification to minimize fire hazards in final assemblies

It helps identify potential risks early, supports safer design choices, and accelerates regulatory approval.

Test process：

The mode of suspension of the copper block shall be such that the block remains essentially stationary during the test.

Compliance & Regulatory Assurance

The KP-FT02 fully supports IEC 60695-11-5, UL 746A, and EN 60695-11-5. Understanding the risks of component ignition is a global priority; for instance, the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) provides extensive research on the fire performance of polymeric materials. Furthermore, the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) frequently updates codes regarding electrical equipment fire safety, which our equipment helps fulfill. Technical whitepapers on flame propagation can also be found on IEEE Xplore for engineering-grade analysis.

Procurement Benefits
