Heat Compression Test Apparatus
1.Introduction
Apparatus for compression test is designed according to IEC60884-1 clause 25.4 and figure 38, BS1363-1 clause 22.1.3 & figure 23, BS1363-2 clause 22.1.3 & figure 23, BS1363-5 clause 22.2.2 & figure 23,and EN50075 clause 14.1.2 & figure 10.
It is applied to verification the compression resistance performance in heating of cover of moveable socket-outlet, electrical accessories and surface type mounting box. The heat compression test apparatus shall work with oven, the specimen should be pre-heated by the heating cabinet. 20N force is applied to specimen via the jaws for 1 hour, and the specimen can not be damaged.
