IEC 60332 Flame propagation test machine for a single insulated
cable
Production introduction:
Single wire and cable vertical combustion tester is in accordance
with IEC 60332 - 1 - 2:2004 <Test on electric and optical fiber
cables under fire conditions - Part 1 - 2: Test for vertical flame
propagation for a single insulated wire or cable>. Selecting the
fire time according to the specifications of the sample. It can
obtain and determine wire and cable’s capability of prevent the
fire from spreading under fire condition.
