Glow Wire Tester

Model GW-1000 / GW-1000A — built for repeatable flammability testing, with a microprocessor-controlled timer and precise temperature control.

10–1000°C adjustable 30s contact timer Type K thermocouple

Description

As is usually the case with flammability tests, repeatable results aren't easy to get. The GW-1000 / GW-1000A was designed specifically to improve repeatability and ease of operation.

  • Microprocessor-controlled timer, starting a 30-second count the moment the sample contacts the wire loop.
  • Ni/Cr (80:20) wire loop, 4mm diameter, shaped to standard.
  • Precise temperature adjustment with a Type K (class 1, IEC 60584-2) thermocouple.
  • Quick-response thermometer with ambient temperature compensation.
  • Adjustable penetration limiter with a scaled slider for reading penetration depth.
