FLASHLIGHT ANSI STANDARDS

Transcription

1 FLASHLIGHT ANSI STANDARDS While Pelian was one of the first manufaturers to use quantifiable test proedures, the need was reognized to develop a ommon language that ustomers ould use to selet the right flashlight for their speifi needs. As a result, the Amerian National Standards Institute (ANSI) with input from the flashlight industry, developed performane standards and symbols to effetively ommuniate a flashlight's features and benefits. Resulting ANSI/NEMA FL 1 Standards inlude the six riteria desribed below: LIGHT OUTPUT Light Output is the total luminous flux. It is the total quantity of emitted overall light energy as measure by integrating the entire angular output of the portable light soure. Light output in this standart is expressed in units of lumens. RUN TIME Run Time is defined as the duraton of time from the initial light output value defined as 30 seons after the point the devie is first turned on using fresh batteries, until the light output reahes 10% of the initial value. BEAM DISTANCE Beam Distane is defined as the distane from the devie at whih the light beam is 0.25 lux (0.25 lux is approximately the equivalent of the light emitted from the full moon "on a lear night in an open field"). PEAK BEAM INTENSITY Peak Beam Intensity is the maximum luminous intensity typially along the entral axis of a one of light. The value is reported in andela and does not hange with distane. IMPACT RESISTANCE Impat Resistane is the degree to whih a devie resists damage from dropping on a solid surfae. IPX4 WATER PENETRATION RATINGS IPX4 - Water Resistane - Water splashed against the devie from any diretion shall have no harmful effets. IPX4 / IPX7 WATER PENETRATION RATINGS IPX7 - Water Proof - Ingress of water in quantities ausing harmful effets shall not be possible when the enlosure is temporarily immersed in water under standardized onditions of pressure and time. IPX8 - Submersible - Ingress of water in quantities ausing harmful effets shall not be possible when the enlosure is ontinuously immersed in water under onditions whih shall be stated by manufaturer, but whih are more severe than for IPX7.

2 ANSI (AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSITUTE) These standards are aredited by ANSI, whih is a private non-profit organization that oversees the development of voluntary onsensus standards for produts, servies, proesses, systems, and personnel in the United States. The organization also oordinates U.S. standards with international standards so Amerian produts an be used globally. GLOSSARY OF TERMS Candela - A unit of measurement of the intensity of light that is, power emitted by a light soure in a partiular diretion. Lux - The unit of luminous flux in the International System, equal to the amount of light given out through a solid angle by a soure of one andela intensity radiating equally in all diretions. Lumen - A unit of measurement of the amount of brightness that omes from a light soure. Lumens define "luminous flux," whih is energy within the range of frequenies we pereive as light. Integrating Sphere - An integrating sphere is a measurement devie with an entrane port that an aept all the diretional light output of the devie under test, or an totally enlose the devie itself. The walls of the sphere should be highly diffuse with high refletivity (>80%) and the spetroradiometer should be shielded from diret view of the devie under test by a baffle system. IP (Ingress Protetion) - Ingress Protetion (IP) ratings speify the environmental protetion the enlosure provides. The IP rating normally has two numbers (IPXX). The first number represents protetion from solid objets or materials (dust) where the seond number represents protetion from liquids (water). With the IP rating IP 54, 5 desribes the level of protetion from solid objets and 4 desribes the level of protetion from liquids.

The examination inluded enlosure pressure testing, ignition testing, temperature evaluation and dust-exlusion testing, as well as a review of the manufaturer's doumentation and the unit's physial onstrution. All were satisfatory and are summarized in the following setions. All data is on file at FMRC along with other douments and orrespondene appliable to this program. 3.1 N oninendive Examination - N oninendive equipment aeptability is based on the inability of the apparatus to release suffiient eletrial or thermal energy under normal operating onditions to ause ignition of speifi hazardous atmospheres Enlosure Pressure Test - Pressure testing was onduted on a series of six samples to determine the maximum internal pressure prior to venting. The test was onduted on a fully assembled model void of batteries. This test is required only for sealed flashlights. The results are as follows: Maximum Pressure MityLite Magnum, 2300 Super PeliLite, psi 2.2 psi The above models utilize a threaded over to atuate the lamp. A seond set of tests was onduted to verify that there is no ejetion of the over or parts of the devie. With the batteries in plae, the threaded over was unsrewed two turns past the extinguishing point of the lamp. Pressure was applied until venting ourred. There was no rupturing of the lens, over, or any other parts Make/Break Evaluation - Spark ignition testing was onduted using a 21 % hydrogen-in-air mixture at 1.1 times the maximum reorded venting pressure. A series of six tests on a battery set was onduted in its intended onfiguration for eah battery type and manufaturer. A fresh set of batteries was used for eah test. Results are as follows: Models 2300, 2250 and The test iruit onsisted of two fresh "AA" ells with no lamp resistane in the iruit. The gas mixture was pressurized to 3.74 psi A series of six tests were onduted using Duraell MNl 500 ells, Eveready Energizer E91 ells and Ray-0-Va AL-AA ells. Results were satisfatory in that there was no ignition of the test gas Model The test iruit onsisted of two fresh "C" ells with no lamp resistane in the iruit. The gas mixture was pressurized to 2.40 psi. A series of six tests were onduted using Duraell MN1400 ells, Eveready Energizer E93 ells and Ray-0-Va AL-C ells. Results were satisfatory in that there was no ignition of the test gas.

13 FACTORY MUTUAL RESEARCH CORPORATION Job Identifiation 4D4AO.AX Drop Test - Fully assembled representative samples of eah model were dropped six times onto a onrete floor from a height of 3 ft. (0.9m). The diretion of the unit was varied so as to impat the floor on all sides. The results are satisfatory in that there was no separation or ejetion of the batteries or any damage whih would affet safety in the Division 2 hazardous loation Temperature Evaluation l VersaBrite II Model 2270 and MityLite Magnum Model Temperature evaluation for VersaBrite II Model 2270 and MityLite Magnum Model 2300 are based on testing onduted under FMRC J.I. 2Z3A8.AX. The maximum temperature was measured on the lamp and referened to a 40 C ambient. VersaBrite II Model 2270 MityLite Magnum Model 2300 Temperature Code= T3A (180 C) Temperature Code= T3A (180 C) VersaBrite I Model 2250 and Super PeliLite Model Temperature evaluation was based on testing for T4 Classifiation aording to omponent size and ambient temperature. Testing was onduted by plaing a lamp assembly in a mixture of diethyl-ether and powering the lamp with a fresh set of batteries. Results were satisfatory in that there was no ignition of the test gas. VersaBrite I Model 2250 Super PeliLite Model 1800 Temperature Code= T4 (135 C) Temperature Code= T4 (135 C) 3.2 Class II, il Evaluation - The enlosures of the MityLite Magnum, Model 2300, and Super PeliLite, Model 1800, were evaluated for dust-exlusion and temperature. Testing as follows: Impat Test - A fully assembled representative sample of eah model was subjeted to an impat of 2.7 Joule. The impat was obtained by dropping a 4 lb (1.8 kg) weight from a height of 6 inhes (150 mm) onto the lens, vent and side of vent. Results were satisfatory in that no damage ourred to the sample that would impair the enlosures ability to pass the subsequent dust exlusion test Normal and Cold Drop Test - Fully assembled samples of eah model were subjeted to a drop test at room temperature as desribed in Setion Additional samples were subjeted to a drop test at a temperature of -25 C. The lens aps were loosened two turns past the extinguishing point of the lamps and samples were dropped 3 times at a different angle from a height of 3 feet onto a onrete floor. Results were satisfatory in that no damage ourred to the sample that would impair the enlosures ability to pass the subsequent dust exlusion test Dust-Exlusion Test - A Model 2300 and Model 1800 fully assembled enlosure was suspended in a irulating dust atmosphere of 200 mesh tal while onneted to a vauum pump adjusted to draw a vauum of 20 mbar on eah sample. The lens aps on both samples were loosened two turns past the extinguishing point of the lamps. The test was ontinued for eight hours at an average air extration rate of 18.1 volumes per hour for the Model 2300 and 15.2 volumes per hour for the Model At the onlusion of the test, exess dust was removed from the sample exteriors and the samples opened. Results were satisfatory as the enlosures exluded the entry of dust.

14 FACTORY MUTUAL RESEARCH CORPORATION Job Identifiation 4D4AO.AX Temperature Testing - Measurements were taken on the lens under a one inh layer of dust. The maximum reorded temperatures, when adjusted to an ambient temperature of 40 C, are 84.3 C for the Model 2300 and 80.5 C for the Model There was no harring of the dust as a result of this test. No additional temperature ode is required Mold Stress - One omplete sample of Model 2300 and Model 1800 (void of batteries) was plaed in a full irulating air oven at a temperature of 94.l C for 7 hours.
