Model:Common test methods for cables under fire conditions
Use:Tests on electric and optical cables under fire conditions
Standard:IEC 60332-3, EN 50399
The EN 50399 was based on IEC 60332-3 with the addition of heat release measurement and a modified air inlet system. This is accomplished by fitting a small instrumented section of ducting into the exhaust system of the rig and using this with associated FTT gas analysis instrumentation and software. The duct section houses all gas sampling probes, temperature and mass flow probes and has ports for the smoke measuring system.
The gas analysis instrumentation is housed in a 19" instrument rack containing:
Clients already owning the FTT Dual Cone Calorimeter, ISO 9705 Room/Corner test or SBI can use their cone instrumentation to measure heat release rate from their IEC 60332-3. Alternatively the EN 50399 Gas Analysis rack can be used to instrument other calorimeters (e.g. FTT Dual Cone Calorimeter etc.).
