Common Listed Specifications

Specification Listed Details and Confirmation Scope
Payload Listed: 1000 kg. The listed 2000 kg and 3000 kg alternatives require a separate quotation and confirmation of rack and fixture capacity. Equipment mass is not payload.
Object Holder Movement Listed speed: 6000 mm/min, adjustable. Confirm travel, positioning, load conditions and control functions.
Refractory Rack Movement Listed speed: 6000 mm/min, adjustable. Confirm travel, positioning and the supplied screen arrangement.
Control System PLC with local touchscreen and remote computer control are listed. Confirm the supplied interface, software, monitoring and interlocks.
Ignition Automatic ignition is listed. Confirm ignition hardware, remote controls and the approved control sequence for the ordered system.
Fuel-Surface Distance Listed equipment adjustment: 450–550 mm, with a default of 500 mm. The original listing describes water in the tray bottom. Confirm the required geometry and fuel-tray arrangement against the approved test plan.
Refractory Brick Listed nominal size: 240 × 120 × 70 mm. Confirm the complete screen geometry, openings and material against the applicable procedure.
Fuel Tray Three interchangeable trays are listed. The original listing states an edge height no more than 8 cm above the fuel surface. Confirm tray dimensions, specimen footprint and geometry for the selected test route.
Additional Listed Provisions Adjustable ignition area, automatic fuel filling, remote control, video monitoring and lighting are listed. Confirm included hardware, control functions, interfaces and the facility scope in the quotation.

Configuration and Acceptance Scope

Provide the governing standard edition and procedure, battery pack or system dimensions, specimen and fixture mass, required payload, and the approved tray and screen arrangement. Confirm the supplied fuel-handling, ignition, remote-control and monitoring provisions in the quotation.
Agree the mechanical movement, positioning, control functions, interlocks and acceptance scope before ordering. Define facility utilities, access, ventilation, exclusion zones and emergency-response responsibilities for the project with qualified personnel.
Equipment selection does not by itself establish UN R100 or UL 2580 conformity. Review the applicable test route and approved test plan separately from the equipment specification.

External Fire Exposure Test Machine Standard

  • UL 2580
  • ECE R100

 

Gasoline-Pool Fire Test Sequence Overview

This overview refers to the gasoline-pool fire test in UN R100. Confirm the applicable amendment series, test route, and approved test plan before specifying the equipment or test sequence. UL 2580 requirements must be reviewed separately.

  1. Test Object: Battery pack and system.
  2. For the UN R100 05-series reference, testing is conducted at 0°C or above, with battery SOC adjusted according to Annex 9, Appendix 2. Confirm the wind conditions and applicable revision in the approved test plan.
  3. In the test, the size of the Flat plate with gasoline should exceed the horizontal size of the test object by 20 cm, no more than 50 cm. The height of the Flat plate should no more than 8 cm above the gasoline. The test object should be placed in the middle. The distance between the gasoline level and the test object is set to 50 cm. Inject water to the bottom of the Flat-plate before testing.

 

 

  • Test Phase 1: Preheat.

Ignite the gasoline at least 3m away from the test object, and after 60 seconds of preheating, put the gasoline plate below the test device. If the gasoline flat plate size is too large to move, you can use the way of moving the test object and rack.

  • Test Phase 2: Direct burning.

The test object is directly exposed to the flame for 70 seconds.

  • Test Phase 3: Indirect burning.

Cover the gasoline plate with refractory baffles. Keep the test object in this condition for 60 seconds. Alternatively, by mutual consent, the test object continues to be exposed directly to the flame for another 60 seconds. The refractory baffles are made of standard refractory bricks. Confirm the refractory baffle geometry and material against the applicable test procedure.

 

 

  • Test Phase 4: Leave the fire source.

Remove the gasoline plate or test object. Then observe for 2h or when the test object exterior temperature drops below 45°C.
