Detailed Product Description: How It Works and Unique Selling Points
Our Smoke Density Tester is designed to deliver precise smoke density measurements with ease. This device uses an NBS smoke chamber combined with an advanced photometric system to measure smoke opacity during material combustion. By simulating real-world fire conditions, it evaluates the optical density of smoke produced by plastics, building materials, and composites, helping manufacturers meet standards like ASTM E662 and ISO 5659-2.
How It Works:
- The sample is placed in the smoke chamber and exposed to a controlled radiant heat source.
- Smoke generated by pyrolysis passes through the photometric system, which measures light absorption.
- The tester calculates the smoke density or smoke obscuration over time, providing a Plastics Smoke Density Rating (SDR).
- Data is recorded through easy-to-use software, making analysis straightforward.
Unique Selling Points:
- Accurate and Reliable: Meets ASTM E662 and other major smoke density standards used across the U.S. fire safety industry.
- User-Friendly Interface: Simple controls and clear software guide users through tests quickly.
- Durable Design: Built with tough materials for long-term use in industrial labs and testing facilities.
- Versatile Testing: Supports a wide range of materials including plastics, building products, and composites.
- Compliance Ready: Helps clients easily pass FAA smoke density tests and building material smoke evaluations.
- Dynamic and Radiant Panel Testing: Offers flexible configurations for different test methods in one compact system.
This smoke opacity meter is a true all-in-one solution for anyone needing reliable, repeatable smoke density data to ensure safety and meet regulations across industries.
