The EB 16-II Hot Set Tester is made for hot set testing of cable material according to IEC 60811-2-1 and other equivalent standards.
To avoid too high temperature loss when inserting and cutting the samples, the samples are introduced through a small opening in the top of the oven. To get a suitable working height and not shake the samples during insertion, the oven is fixed and the sample holder moves up and down by a servo motor driven screw system.
The oven has a controlled air exchange rate and low air speed which can be controlled by a flow meter, meeting the requirements for ageing ovens in IEC 60811-2-1.
Measurements are made through the window with a laser pointer mounted on a measuring scale placed on the door. The window can be taken apart for cleaning. When measuring the elongation with a push on a button on the scale, the measured values are entered into a spreadsheet template, via a Bluetooth connection.
The templates are for testing 3 flat samples, 3 round samples, 4 flat samples with possibility to have 2 different materials, and 4 round samples with possibility to have 2 different materials.
The set is measured outside the oven with a digital caliper also connected to the computer. A finished report can then be produced in a spreadsheet software.
StandardsThe oven performs well inside the apparatus requirements in IEC 60811-2-1 and other equivalent standards.
