Its digital timer with 0.1-second resolution and adjustable burner angle (0°, 45°, and 60°) allow for precise control during flame exposure. The tester is equipped with specialized clamps that hold wires securely in position, ensuring accurate and safe evaluation of different cable diameters.

Designed for automotive, electrical, and cable manufacturing industries, this flammability tester helps manufacturers identify safe insulation materials, reduce fire hazards, and maintain compliance with international fire safety requirements. With its user-friendly operation, durable build, and comprehensive accessories like flame height gauge, burner lighter, and fire-resistant gloves, the Flammability Tester for Insulated Wires and Cables delivers both accuracy and reliability for quality assurance and research applications.

What is a Flammability Tester for Insulated Wires and Cables?

A Flammability Tester for Insulated Wires and Cables is a laboratory testing instrument designed to evaluate the fire resistance and self-extinguishing properties of wire and cable insulation materials. It determines how a material reacts when exposed to a flame — whether it ignites, how long it burns, and how far the flame propagates.
This test helps manufacturers ensure that cables used in electrical, automotive, and industrial applications meet fire safety standards such as IS/ISO 6722 and ISO 19642, ensuring safer performance under fire-risk conditions.

Benefits of Using a Flammability Tester

• Ensures compliance with national and international fire safety standards.
• Helps identify safe and flame-retardant materials for insulation.
• Reduces risk of fire hazards and smoke toxicity in real-world installations.
• Supports quality assurance and R&D validation of insulated wires and cables.
• Enhances product reliability and market acceptance in safety-critical industries.
• Minimizes liability and protects brand reputation by preventing unsafe products from reaching customers.
