Key Features
- Tests a single vertical insulated wire or cable to IEC 60332-1, IEC 60695-2-4-0 (diffusion/premixed flame methods) and IEC 60695-2-4-1 (1kW nominal premixed test flame)
- 300 × 450 × 1200mm test chamber with a 12.7mm Lumi-Board base; the specimen stands vertically for calibration and is angled 45° during the test run itself
- Burner gas flow is held at 10 ±0.5 L/min air and 650 mL/min propane (0–7.5kPa), with an optional Mass Flow Controller for tighter control and a software routine that verifies the 175mm/1kW calibration flame per IEC 60695-2-4-1
- Pass/fail criteria: the specimen passes when the distance between the bottom of the upper holder and the start of burning is over 50mm, and fails if damage spreads more than 540mm down from the bottom of the upper holder
- Control-panel switch and counter track burner calibration, auto-ignition, afterflame and afterglow for each run, with full DAQ logging
About the Single Vertical Flame Spread Tester
The Single Vertical Flame Spread tester (model FT-SVF-938) from FT Solutions Co., Ltd. (FESTEC), South Korea, checks whether a single vertical insulated wire or cable propagates flame. It follows IEC 60332-1 and IEC 60695-2-4-0 and -4-1, using a 1 kW nominal premixed test flame, and the result is judged against fixed pass and fail distances measured from the upper holder.
The specimen is tested in a 300 × 450 × 1,200 mm chamber with a 12.7 mm Lumi-Board base, and is set at a 45° angle during the test run. Burner gas flow is held at 10 ±0.5 L/min of air and 650 mL/min of propane, with an optional Mass Flow Controller for tighter control, and a software routine verifies the 175 mm / 1 kW calibration flame required by IEC 60695-2-4-1. Control-panel switches and a counter track burner calibration, auto-ignition, afterflame and afterglow, and DAQ logging records every run.

Single Vertical Flame Spread Tester: frequently asked questions
What does the Single Vertical Flame Spread tester test?
A single vertical insulated wire or cable, to IEC 60332-1, with the burner built to IEC 60695-2-4-1 (1 kW nominal premixed test flame). The result shows whether the cable propagates flame along its length.
How is pass or fail decided on the FT-SVF-938?
The specimen passes when the distance between the bottom of the upper holder and the start of burning is more than 50 mm. It fails if damage spreads more than 540 mm down from the bottom of the upper holder.
How is the test flame calibrated?
Gas flow is held at 10 ±0.5 L/min of air and 650 mL/min of propane, and an optional Mass Flow Controller gives tighter control. A software routine verifies the 175 mm flame of the 1 kW calibration to IEC 60695-2-4-1.
What are the installation requirements for the FT-SVF-938?
The tester measures 1,050 × 500 × 1,900 mm and weighs 260 kg. It needs an AC 220 V, 50/60 Hz, 10 A supply, propane gas and compressed air; a PC is optional.
