IEC 60695 Flame Height Gauge for 50W and 500W Test Flames

IEC 60695 Flame Height Gauge for 50W and 500W Test Flame Calibration

The IEC 60695 Flame Height Gauge for 50W and 500W Test Flames is a precision accessory used to verify flame height in standardized flammability testing. Accurate flame height is essential for maintaining consistent and repeatable test results.

KingPo provides two versions to meet different testing needs. The 50W Flame Height Gauge supports flame height setup and verification for IEC 60695-11-5 test flame applications. The 500W Flame Height Gauge is used for flame height measurement and verification in IEC 60695-11-3 500W flame testing. These gauges allow laboratories to confirm proper flame conditions before conducting tests, helping improve the reliability of flammability evaluations.

Technical Parameters

Both the 50W and 500W versions of the IEC 60695 Flame Height Gauge are manufactured with attention to measurement accuracy and durability. The gauges feature a straightforward design that allows for easy positioning and clear visual reading during the verification process.

Constructed with quality materials, these gauges are well-suited for repeated use in laboratory environments. Their practical structure supports quick and reliable flame height verification during daily testing operations.

Testing Principle

Accurate flame height is a critical factor in standardized flammability testing, as it directly influences the thermal exposure applied to the test specimen. The IEC 60695 series specifies particular flame configurations, and verifying the flame height before testing is essential to ensure compliance and reproducibility of results.

The Flame Height Gauge serves as a reference tool to confirm that the flame reaches the required height as defined by the relevant standard. By enabling laboratories to establish and maintain consistent flame conditions, it helps reduce variability between tests and operators, thereby improving the reliability of flammability evaluations.

Common Error Mitigation

To ensure accurate flame height verification, the following practices are recommended:

• Conduct measurements in a draft-free environment to prevent airflow from affecting flame stability and height readings.
• Allow sufficient time for the flame apparatus to stabilize before taking measurements, ensuring consistent flame behavior.
• Always select the correct gauge version (50W or 500W) that corresponds to the specific test flame and standard being used.
• Perform multiple measurements at different positions and calculate the average value to improve accuracy.
• Regularly inspect the gauge for any signs of damage, wear, or deformation that could compromise measurement precision.

Primary Use Cases & Business Value

The IEC 60695 Flame Height Gauge is primarily used by flammability testing laboratories and certification bodies to verify flame height in accordance with IEC 60695 standards. Accurate flame height measurement ensures consistent and reliable test conditions.

By providing precise verification, the gauge helps laboratories improve test repeatability and supports manufacturers in maintaining compliance documentation. It is a practical tool for enhancing the credibility of flammability testing results.
