Fireproof cable tray test
To test this, the German standard DIN 4102-12 is used to test complete systems of wire ropes, accessories and cables. The wire ropes and cables are placed in an oven and heated for 90 minutes until the temperature reaches 1 000 °C. This includes checking their flammability, smoke production, toxic gas emissions, and ability to block heat and fire. Through these tests the aim was to learn more about thermal conductivity properties in fire conditions and what effects it would have on the tray itself and how long the installed cable. FireMaster® products insulate cable trays carrying instrument control cables to ensure that the cables can operate long enough to allow process shut down during fires.
