24、h regard to fire hazard is to duplicate exactly the conditions occurring in practice. In most instances, this is not possible. Accordingly, for practical reasons, the testing of electrotechnical products with regard to fire hazard is best conducted by simulating as closely as possible the actual eff

25、ects occurring in practice. Work initiated by ACOS resulted in a series of standards that make available standardized test flames covering a range of powers for the use of all product committees needing such test flames. A needle flame is described in IEC 60695-11-5, two 500 W flames are described i

26、n IEC 60695-11-4, and a 1 kW flame is described in IEC 60695-11-2. This international standard provides a description of the apparatus required to produce a 50 W test flame and a description of a calibration procedure to check that the test flame produced meets given requirements. Guidance on confir

27、matory tests for test flames is given in IEC 60695-11-40. Three 50 W test flame methods (A, B and C) were originally specified in IEC/TS 60695-11-4:2000, with the intention that users would determine a ranking preference. This process has resulted in two of these flame methods being withdrawn, as sh

28、own below: 50 W test flame method Flame type Gas Approximate flame height / mm A Pre-mixed Methane 20 B Withdrawn C Withdrawn The method described in Clause 4 of this standard is the method that was originally designated as Method A. It produces a 50 W nominal test flame using a single gas supply tu

29、be, a needle valve to adjust the gas back pressure, a flowmeter to adjust the gas flow rate, and adjustable air ports on the burner tube. The flame is produced by burning methane, and the method makes use of a more tightly specified version of a burner that was used in some countries for many years.

30、 The method has been developed as a technical enhancement of previous technology. BS EN 60695-11-4:2011 6 60695-11-4 IEC:2011 FIRE HAZARD TESTING Part 11-4: Test flames 50 W flame Apparatus and confirmational test method 1 Scope This part of IEC 60695 provides detailed requirements for the productio

31、n of a 50 W nominal, pre-mixed type test flame. The approximate overall height of the flame is 20 mm. Details are given for confirmation of the test flame. This basic safety publication is intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid

32、 down in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51. One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of basic safety publications in the preparation of its publications.

41、n of a standardized 50 W nominal test flame 4.1 Requirements A standardized 50 W nominal test flame, according to this method, is one that is produced using hardware according to Figures A.1 and A.2, supplied with methane gas of purity not less than 98 % at a flow rate equivalent to 105 ml/min 5 ml/

42、min at 23 C, 0,1 MPa1, using the arrangement of Figure A.3. 1When corrected from measurements taken under actual conditions of use. BS EN 60695-11-4:2011 8 60695-11-4 IEC:2011 NOTE The expected back pressure is less than 10 mm of water. The flame shall be symmetrical, stable and give a result of 44

43、s 2 s in the confirmatory test described in 4.4. The confirmatory test arrangement shown in Figure A.4 shall be used. The overall height of the flame should be typically within the range 18 mm to 22 mm, but targeted towards 20 mm when measured using the flame height gauge as described in Figure 2, i
