Glow Wire Testing Apparatus

The Glow-Wire Tester simulates an overloaded resistor or other ignition source and applies heat to the specimen for a short period of time, and simulates as closely as possible actual effects occurring in practice.
A temperature controller is fitted with the thermocouple supplied, accurately measuring the glow wire temperature. The electrical circuit of the control unit is fully protected by fuses and a miniature circuit breaker.

Glow wire test machine is the integrated design,coupled with test chamber part and control part, which is easy for on-site installation and commissioning. Test chamber shell and the important parts are made of stainless steel, smoke and gas corrosion, using SCR automatic control system automatically adjust the current to achieve the precise temperature. It is digital display, easy to observe and record with stable and reliable performance.
