The Glow Wire Test Apparatus simulates thermal stress on materials due to glowing elements (like heating filaments or short circuits). It measures ignition resistance by applying a heated wire at 960°C to the test sample. This version includes full automation with speed-controlled trolley, force loading, and programmable time display.
