The TH8014+ vertical and horizontal flame‑testing apparatus is suitable for evaluating the flame‑resistance of various organic materials, including wire and cable insulation and jacketing, printed circuit board substrates, and IC insulators. During testing, the specimen is positioned at the tip of a flame source, exposed to flame for 15 seconds, then allowed to cool for 15 seconds; this cycle is repeated five times, after which the extent of burning is assessed. The device allows users to set the flame‑exposure and cooling durations as well as the number of cycles, and it operates automatically. It is ideal for straightforward factory‑level compliance testing in accordance with UL 1581, UL 13, UL 444, UL 1655 (VW‑1), and CSA FT‑1 standards.
The TH8155 Oxygen Index Tester is used to determine the volume percentage of oxygen required for a polymer to sustain combustion, thereby assessing the material’s ease of ignition and flame spread in air. It is suitable for evaluating the combustion performance of materials such as wood, plastics, rubber, fibers, and foam plastics. The oxygen index of a polymer is defined as the minimum volume concentration of oxygen in an oxygen–nitrogen mixture that allows the material to maintain combustion over a distance of 50 mm or for a duration of 3 minutes after ignition. This method provides accurate, highly reproducible measurements of polymer flammability, with results expressed as a numerical value. The instrument is designed in accordance with the GB/T 2406 standard “Plastics — Determination of the Oxygen Index.” It also complies with JIS K 7201, BS 2782, ANSI/ASTM D2863, ISO 4589, and GB/T 2406 standards.
Scope of application: This equipment is suitable for testing highly flexible cables that meet TUV, VDE, UL, and other standards, featuring a vertical‑type machine design. It is primarily used to conduct repeated torsion and bending tests on high‑flexibility, bend‑resistant flexible cables, including drag chain cables, robotic arm cables, towline cables, mobile cables, sensor/encoder cables, and servo motor cables—cables characterized by exceptional flexibility, superior bend resistance, continuous core integrity under cyclic bending, and minimal deformation. These tests evaluate the ability of metallic conductors to withstand plastic deformation during repeated torsion and reveal any defects that may arise. The system finds broad application in quality‑control sectors, the metal industry, the industrial robotics field, and cable and wire manufacturers. It accommodates metallic wires of various diameters and, when equipped with specialized fixtures, can also perform repeated torsion tests on other specifications.
1. Operating principle: The cable bending tester simulates the service conditions of drag chain cables and, through continuous reciprocating motion, performs flexibility tests and fatigue life tests on the cables.
