IEC 60811-1-4 Low Temperature Impact Test Apparatus (100 mm Drop Height)
Product Overview
The IEC 60811-1-4 Low Temperature Impact Test Apparatus is designed to evaluate the impact resistance of electrical cables, insulation, and sheath materials under low-temperature conditions. Compliant with IEC 60811-1-4 standard requirements, this device is widely used by cable manufacturers, third-party testing laboratories, and quality control departments to verify material performance in cold environments.
When used together with a low-temperature chamber, the apparatus delivers reliable, repeatable impact testing results, ensuring products meet international safety and durability standards.
Applicable Standards
- IEC 60811-1-4 – Common test methods for insulating and sheathing materials of electric cables – Low temperature test
- IEC 60884-1 – Plugs and socket-outlets for household and similar purposes (relevant clauses)
Features
- Designed in strict accordance with IEC 60811-1-4 requirements
- Used inside a low-temperature chamber for accurate environmental simulation
- Impact device placed on a 40 mm thick rubber pad during testing
- Simple, durable manual mechanical release structure
- Available in single-station or three-station configurations for higher testing efficiency
