Gas Stove Test Bench (WH-ZJ01-401A)

The Gas Stove Test Bench (Model WH-ZJ01-401A) is a dedicated production-line and laboratory platform for gas stoves, gas cookers and integrated stoves. It performs ignition, combustion-stability, thermal-efficiency, gas-tightness and flame-failure tests in one automated sequence, with 0.5-class measurement and 1–6 station options for high-volume QC. The bench supports both LPG and natural gas, and every unit receives a traceable pass/fail report aligned with EN 30-1-1 and GB 16410.

For appliance plants that ship thousands of cookers per month, the WH-ZJ01 replaces manual, operator-dependent checks with a repeatable sequence that logs each result. It is the most common choice for stove and integrated-stove production, while the gas stove production test bench (WH-SP-Line) is configured for fully line-integrated, high-throughput stations.

What the Bench Tests

• Ignition & flame stability — reliable ignition and stable combustion at rated and boundary conditions.
• Thermal efficiency — heat-efficiency measurement against the rated specification.
• Gas tightness — leak detection on the manifold and gas circuit; see the gas tightness testing machine guide.
• Flame failure protection — cut-off timing and re-ignition behaviour; see gas tightness & flame failure testing.
• CO emission & surface temperature — combustion quality and safety-temperature checks for export; see thermal efficiency & CO testing.

Standards & Compliance

Test methods follow EN 30-1-1 for the European market, GB 16410 for the Chinese market and the general electrical/gas safety requirements of IEC 60335-2-102. North American buyers should review our ANSI Z21.1 vs EN 30 comparison. The bench supplies the pressure, flow and timing evidence a notified body or importer expects; available documentation is listed on the certifications page.

How It Works

1. Connect the stove to LPG/NG, mount probes and select the model/standard on the HMI.
2. The PLC runs ignition, flame-stability, efficiency, tightness and flame-failure tests automatically.
3. Each measurement is compared with the standard’s limits and logged per serial number.
4. A pass/fail report is generated; failed units are flagged before packing.

Integrated Stoves & Multi-Station Lines

For integrated stove-and-hood units, the bench runs the gas combustion test in step with hood air performance — see combined testing for integrated cookers. A multi-station deployment of this kind is documented in the integrated cooker test bench case study. When a line needs a dedicated leak-only station, the gas stove gas tightness test bench provides high-sensitivity pressure-decay testing; for plants that also build boilers and heaters, the gas appliance test bench covers all categories.

Production QC Configuration

Export-Proven Results

The same standardized item set enabled a gas stove export QC line in Thailand to achieve consistent shipment quality and faster certification. For plants that build boilers too, compare the combi boiler test rig for laboratory type testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this bench and the production line model?

The WH-ZJ01 is a flexible bench for QC and low-to-mid volume lines; the WH-SP-Line production test bench is built into the conveyor line for maximum throughput with automated loading.

Does it test both LPG and natural gas cookers?

Yes. The dual-gas supply supports LPG and natural gas; town gas and other categories can be added on request.

How many stations do I need?

Single stations suit type testing and small batches; 4–6 stations suit high-volume lines. Share your hourly target and Wanhe will propose a layout — see custom lead time.
