The Swedish Chimney Test is designed to assess the ability of electric cables to resist ignition and prevent fire spread. It evaluates how cables perform under controlled fire exposure conditions, ensuring compliance with safety standards.

Apparatus Details

✔ Construction: Vertical steel tube with rectangular openings
✔ Material of Construction (MOC): High-grade Stainless Steel for durability & heat resistance
✔ Ignition System: Conical tray for ignition fluid
✔ Lid & Ventilation: Properly designed openings for controlled airflow
✔ Test Compliance: Meets IS:10810 Part 61 specifications

Features & Benefits

✅ Simulated Real-World Conditions: Assesses fire resistance in a vertical configuration, mimicking actual cable installations.
✅ Durable & Corrosion-Resistant: Stainless steel construction ensures long-lasting performance.
✅ Standardized Testing Methodology: Meets Indian & international safety standards for fire testing.
✅ Enhanced Fire Safety Analysis: Determines ignition resistance & fire propagation characteristics of cables.
