BS EN 12983-1 Cookware Handle Fatigue Tester For Deformation Testing Equipment

Standards for Cookware Handle Fatigue Tester:

The design of the handle fatigue resistance test apparatus of cookware complies with BS EN 12983-1:2020 clause 7.6 and Appendix E.

Product information for Cookware Handle Fatigue Tester:

It is used to perform fatigue resistance test on cookware handles. The handle assembly should withstand 15,000 cycles of operation, and the handle or connecting parts will not be permanently deformed or loosened. Without affecting safety and performance, the deformation within 5% of the total length from the end can be ignored.

Technical parameters for Cookware Handle Fatigue Tester:

Use method for Cookware Handle Fatigue Tester:

1 First, place the apparatus in a horizontal place, place it on a flat table.

2 Perform heat resistance test on the sample in advance in accordance with the requirements of Appendix B of the standard BS EN 12983-1.

3 Use the proper fixture to clamp the handle of the cookware.

4 Adjust the "angle adjustment knob" so that the bottom of the cookware is parallel to the plane of the lifting platform, and adjust the “lifting handwheel” to make the plane of the lifting platform 1mm away from the bottom of the cookware. In case of some cookware is very short, the lifting platform is more than 1mm far away from the bottom of the cookware after it is lift to the highest position, operator should remove the plane of the lifting platform and add heightening rod (s) to heighten the lifting platform, then install the plane of the lifting platform back.

5 Place a 5mm thick rubber pad between the plane of the lifting platform and the bottom of the cookware.

6 Place the weight that simulates the weight of water in the cookware.

7 Set the counter to be 150×100 (coefficient), press the "Start” button and rotate the "Speed Adjustment " button to make the tachometer display 25, and the equipment will automatically drive the cookware to reciprocate up and down at a rate of 25 times/min, after reaching 15,000 times, the equipment will stop automatically.

8 After the test, check whether the handle of the cookware is permanently damaged and whether the fastener is loose.

9 Make the conclusion after the test.
