Air cooled radiometer for furnace flux calibration


ASTM E 662


ISO 5659 / IMO


The FTT SDC has been designed specifically to incorporate the ISO 5659 Conical Radiant Furnace.This extends the potential of the SDC by allowing testing at heat fluxes up to 50 kW/m2


, horizontal orientation of the specimen and the measurement of mass


loss rate of the specimen. It takes approximately 15 minutes to change from ASTM E 662 to the ISO 5659 configuration and the equipment conforms to the recent IMO test protocols.


Software


The FTT SDC is supplied with a software package called SmokeBox, which was designed as a data acquisition and presentation package allowing either manual or automatic control.This enables a more efficient use of the instrument, leading to larger daily throughput of testing and enhanced quality graphical data presentation.‘SmokeBox’ is a Microsoft Windows based package which collects test data and assists with all calibration routines. It can be used for several applications including standardised testing to ASTM E 662, ISO 5659 and BS 6401 etc.


SmokeBox enables: -


Calibration of the photomultiplier amplifier: - Full scale and zero transmission values are calibrated into the software.All recorded and displayed transmission values are corrected, in real time, by the software for calibration, whatever the amplifier range setting.


Automatic file naming - SmokeBox will save the data to a file name automatically generated from the date and test number.This is to prevent any valuable data being overwritten. Alternatively the user can manually enter a file name.
