Technical Specification


Measuring principle Measurement of flame spread over a vertically orientated material subject to uniform radiant heat flux Measurement of heat release rate using a calibrated thermopile system


Calibration burner The output from the mass flow meter is calibrated for 0 – 5V = 0 – 25slpm of methane gas.


Software Flux meter Dimensions IMOSoft,Windows PC


Schmidt-Boelter heat flux meter for measuring the flux profile along the specimen


1600mm (W) x 900mm (D) x 1650mm (H excluding chimney) A minimum ceiling height of 2400mm is required to accommodate chimney and extraction hood


A minimum floor space of 4m x 2m is required to allow for removal of calibration burner Due to FTT’s continuous development policy specifications could change without prior notice


Services Extraction


Power Gas


A ceiling mounted fume exhaust system with a capacity of at least 0.5m3


/s 230 VAC at 50/60 Hz 10 Amp


Radiant Panel requires Propane or Methane at least 4 Bar and a flow rate of up to 0.6g/s


Pilot Flame Acetylene gas at least 0.5 l/min at 1 bar (24.5 psi)


Calibration Burner Methane gas of at least 95% purity with a maximum flow of 25 l/min at a maximum pressure of 30 psi. (IMO Only) Not supplied with ISO 5658


Air Water For the radiant panel an air flow up to 11g/s at 100psi is required


200 – 300 ml/min water flow through the heat flux meter at room temperature, i.e. 15 – 30°C
