29、tice. 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 effects occurring in practice. Work initiated by ACOS resulted in a series of stand
30、ards 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, a 50 W flame is described in IEC 60695-11-4, and a 1 kW flame is described in IEC 60695-11-2. This international
31、 standard provides a description of the apparatus required to produce either of two 500 W test flames, and also provides a description of a calibration procedure to check that the test flame produced meets given requirements. Guidance on confirmatory tests for test flames is given in IEC 60695-11-40
32、. Four 500 W test flame methods were originally specified in Edition 1 of IEC/TS 60695-11-3, with the intention that users would determine a ranking preference. This process has resulted in two of these flame methods, B and D, being withdrawn, as shown below: 500 W test flame method Flame type Gas A
33、pproximate flame height / mm A Pre-mixed Methane 125 B Withdrawn C Pre-mixed Methane or propane 125 D Withdrawn Method A was first published in 1994 and was based on existing hardware. The flame is produced by burning methane, and the method makes use of a more tightly specified version of a burner
34、that was used in some countries for many years. Method C is based on non-adjustable hardware that has been specifically developed to produce a highly repeatable and stable test flame. The flame is produced by burning either methane or propane. Both methods have been developed as technical enhancemen
35、ts of previous technology. BS EN 60695-11-3:201260695-11-3 IEC:2012 7 FIRE HAZARD TESTING Part 11-3: Test flames 500 W flames Apparatus and confirmational test methods 1 Scope This part of IEC 60695-11 provides detailed requirements for the production of either of two 500 W nominal, pre-mixed type t
36、est flames. The approximate overall height of each flame is 125 mm. Two methods of producing a test flame are described: Method A uses methane. Method C can use either methane or propane. This basic safety publication is intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in acc
37、ordance with the principles laid 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. The requirements, test methods or test conditions of this basic
38、safety publication will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

42、s international standard and meets all of the requirements given in Clause 4 and Clause 6 4 Method A Production of a standardized 500 W nominal test flame based on existing hardware 4.1 Requirements A standardized 500 W nominal test flame, according to this method, is one that is: produced using har
43、dware according to Figures A.1 and A.2, supplied with methane gas of purity not less than 98 % at a flow rate equivalent to 965 ml/min 30 ml/min at 23 C, 0,1 MPa 1, and at a back pressure of 125 mm 5 mm water, using the arrangements of Figure A.2. The flame shall be symmetrical, stable and give a re
44、sult of 54 s 2 s in the confirmatory test described in 4.4. The confirmatory test arrangement shown in Figure A.3 shall be used. The approximate dimensions of the flame (see Figure 1), when measured in the laboratory fumehood/chamber using the gauge as described in Figure 3, should be: height of inn
45、er blue cone: 40 mm; overall height of flame: 125 mm. 4.2 Apparatus and fuel 4.2.1 Burner The burner shall be in accordance with Figure A.1. NOTE The burner tube, gas injector and needle valve are removable for cleaning purposes. Care should be taken on re-assembly that the needle valve tip is not d
46、amaged and that the needle valve and valve seat (gas injector) are correctly aligned. 4.2.2 Flowmeter The flowmeter shall be appropriate for the measurement of the gas flow rate of 965 ml/min at 23 C, 0,1 MPa1to a tolerance of 2 %. NOTE A mass flowmeter is the preferred means of controlling accurate
47、ly the input flow rate of fuel to the burner. Other methods may be used if they can show equivalent accuracy. _ 1When corrected from the measurements taken under actual conditions of use.
