FT-01 Fogging Tester is professionally designed for the fogging characteristics evaluation of volatile constituents of decorating materials used in cars and aircrafts, e.g. plastic articles, polyurethane, textiles, leather, adhesives, nonwovens and thermal forming elastomers at high temperature conditions. It also could be used for the fogging phenomenon test of high intensity discharge (HID) headlamps of cars.
Technical Features
-Wide range and high precision of temperature control device to support the combinations of non-standard test conditions
-6 test stations can perform specimen test or blank test simultaneously
-Ensures accurate and reliable test data through stable running condition
-Controlled by microcomputer, with LED digital display screen and PVC operation panel, which is convenient for users to quickly and intuitively view the inspection data and results
-Support multi-method testing to achieve multiple testing requirements
Test Principles
The preconditioned specimen is heated and evaporates in the beaker; the volatile constituents condense on the glass plate or aluminum foil treated in cooling chamber. Take off the glass plate or aluminum foil when the condensation process is finished. The fogging characteristics could be obtained by measuring condensed constituent weight and fogging value on the glass plate or aluminum foil and comparing with the data before condensation process.
Measurement method
Gloss method: The gas vaporized by the sample being heated in the fogging cup is condensed on the low-temperature glass plate.
