FLAME & OTHER PLASTICS TESTING

Plastics are tested to determine their flammability burning characteristics (Flame rating), their ignition potential do to thermal and electrical sources, their resistance to electrical tracking, and other electrical characteristics. The specific test required on a plastic depends on the type of component or end-use product, as well as the environment in which the plastic is used,. This test equipment meets most UL, CSA, IEC, EN and other international safety standards.

TRK-01: Tracking Tester
This device is used to test an insulating materials' resistance to tracking. "Tracking" is the creation of a carbon path formed on an insulating material as a result of flashovers. Meets UL and IEC requirements for CTI testing.

This tester incorporates all features for the complete test, Including: the electrodes, an electronic control for releasing the conductive drops, drop counter, adjustable current limiting, and test voltage adjustment to 600V (1000V model available)

Precision-machined, this is a state-of-the-art product that is the finest available in the world. This unit is imported. Specify 120V or 240V input voltage.
