Things you need to know about NGK spark plugs

1. NGK spark plugs are produced since 1937. The first items were released a year after the company was founded.
2. These products belong to the premium price segment.
3. Parts are made in Japan, Germany, the RSA, India, China, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, France, the USA.
4. You can buy the following types of NGK spark plugs in an online shop:
   • With a centre electrode that has a tip made of iridium alloy. It is an extremely hard material with a high melting point. Using it makes the service life of such components twice as long as that of standard ones.
   • Made with the use of platinum. They ensure optimal fuel combustion.
   • With a V-shaped groove on the centre electrode. With such components, ignition of the fuel-air mixture occurs even under difficult conditions.
   • With several ground electrodes. These are long-lasting parts that provide a stable spark formation.
   • With a supplementary spark gap. They are perfect for operational modes that cause abundant carbon deposition.
   • Semi-surface ignition type spark plugs. They ensure a reliable cold start even in case of a carbon deposit clogging the insulator. Its self-cleaning takes place in the process. These products are fitted with at least two side electrodes with tapered tips. If the insulator is covered with carbon, the spark creeps over the insulator tip.
   • Hybrid. They combine the advantages of platinum products and components with a semi-surface ignition discharge. They ensure an optimal cold start and flame spreading.
   • Racing. They are equipped with a ring-shaped ground electrode. The spark creeps from the centre electrode to the ring-shaped ground electrode rather than jumps.
   • LPG LaserLine. They are designed for vehicles operating on gas.
5. These parts are used in Formula-1 cars.
6. The packaging of each component displays an alphanumeric label which contains information about product specifications, in particular, their heat range.
