EN 60682:1993 - Method of measuring the pinch temperature of quartz glass lamps (CLC)
Overview
EN 60682:1993 (adopted by CLC) defines a standardized method for measuring the pinch temperature of quartz-tungsten-halogen (quartz glass) lamps. The standard specifies the type of thermocouple to be used, how to prepare both the lamp and the thermocouple, and the required measurement procedures to obtain repeatable and comparable pinch temperature data. This standard supports consistent temperature testing for incandescent quartz glass lamps and related safety and quality assessments.
Key topics and requirements
- Thermocouple specification: The standard prescribes the characteristics and requirements for the thermocouple used to measure pinch temperature (material and configuration requirements are detailed in the document).
- Preparation procedures: Steps and conditions for preparing the lamp and mounting the thermocouple to ensure valid, reproducible temperature readings.
- Measurement method: Defined measurement sequence, environmental considerations, and data recording practices to determine the pinch temperature reliably.
- Test repeatability and comparability: Protocols to minimize variability between laboratories and test setups when measuring pinch temperature of quartz glass lamps.
- Scope limitation: Focused specifically on quartz-tungsten-halogen lamps (quartz glass lamps) and pinch (seal) region temperature measurement.
Applications
- Quality control and production testing of quartz-tungsten-halogen lamps
- Safety verification and compliance testing for pinch temperature to reduce risk of seal failure or glass devitrification
- Research and development when designing lamps or lamp seals that must withstand specific operating temperatures
- Comparative laboratory testing to validate manufacturing changes or new lamp designs
Who should use this standard
- Lamp manufacturers and production engineers for process control and batch testing
- Test laboratories and certification bodies performing temperature and safety evaluations
- R&D teams working on lamp materials, seal designs, or thermal performance
- Regulatory compliance officers and product safety assessors focused on incandescent/quartz lamp standards
Related information
- ICS classification: 29.140.20 (Incandescent lamps)
- Use this standard alongside other EN/IEC standards for lamp safety and performance when developing comprehensive test programs for incandescent and quartz glass lamps.
