Wire and cable inspection equipment is the precision instrument, we all know that, It is very common that we will inevitably encounter some faults in the process of using cable detection equipment to carry out relevant tests, There is no way to avoid these failures, We can do Prevention, reducing the failure rate to a low level, Then improve work efficiency and reduce unnecessary losses.

Thermal stability tester also belongs to the line and cable detection equipment, What are some common problems with thermal stability testers ? How can we deal with these problems when the thermal stability test apparatus supplier cannot arrive in time ?

Three Common Faults and Troubleshooting Methods of Thermal Stability Testing Machine|Thermal Stability Testing for Cables

1. If the thermal stability test instrument power source is turned on, it does not show that the power source is not connected. Note: if there is no power output at the power output terminal, please check the power cord or power socket. If you are looking for the flame retardant test equipment for fire helmet, please visit the fire helmet test equipment page.

2. If the power supply is connected, the indicator lamp of the wire cable thermal stability testing machine is indicated, Press the start button and the thermal stability test apparatus won’t work, Please check whether the relay of thermal stability tester has dropped or broken. If the line is dropped or disconnected, please connect it in time, If the relay of thermal stability testing machine does not drop out of line, If the relay of thermal stability tester is damaged, it should be replaced in time.

3. When the thermal stability test reaches the number set by the counter, the electric drive cylinder still does not stop working, indicating that the following two faults may occur: (1) Thermal stability test apparatus electric drive just damaged. (2) Thermal stability tester induction switch damaged.

1. Thermal Stability Test Apparatus and Accessories Parts

1.1 Length 110mm, OD 5mm, Inner diameter is (4±0.5) mm, glass container with one side with seal.︱PH Value 1 ~ 10, Universal indicator paper

1.2 Heater with controlled temperature. The test temperature shall be in accordance with the provisions of the relevant cable product standards. If not specified, control at (200 ±0.5) ℃. Use an oil bath first, An oil bath should be used in controversial situations.

1.3 Thermometer with calibrated indexing value of 0.1℃︱ Stopwatch or appropriate timer.

2. Test Procedure for Thermal Stability Cable Testing

2.1 Three test samples were cut from the insulation or sheath of each insulated core. Each test consists of two or three narrow strips of 20 to 30mm in length, Weight aroud (50±5) mg

2.2 Use a 15mm long 3mm wide dry universal test paper, Insert to the glass tube mouth side (top), The paper tape extends about 5mm out of the tube mouth, It is bent and fixed in the position.

2.3 Place the glass tube into a heating device heated to a specified test temperature to a depth of 60mm.

2.4 Determine the time it takes for the color of the universal test paper to change from pH 5 to pH 3. Or the test continues until the colour of the paper does not change during the specified test period. When the red color on the universal test paper corresponding to pH 3 starts to shift significantly Change, should be considered to have reached the point of color change.

2.5 At the end of the estimated test time, the universal test paper should be replaced every 5 ~ 10min (Especially for long time stability test), To make the transition point easier to see.
