PARAMTM FT-F1 Fogging Tester is for high-temperature volatilizable constituent evaporation evaluation of the inner decoration components in automotives and aircrafts, including automotive inner plastic decoration components, polyurethane, textiles, leather, adhesives, non-woven and thermal forming elastomers, etc., as well as for fogging testing of automotive front high intensity discharge (HID) lamp.
Characteristics
6 test chamber design, simultaneous specimen test and blank test;
Stable operation, accurate data;
High precision temperature control.
Principle
The specimen is heated in the glass beakers and begins to evaporate; the volatile constituents condense on the glass plate or foil that has been cooled by the cooling chamber. After the cooling process, take off the glass plate or the foil. Through measuring the fogging value or weight of the condensed constituent on the glass plate or foil, and comparing with the data before condensation, the volatility of the specimen can be achieved.
3 Testing Methods
Gloss Method: the specimen is heated in the glass beaker; its evaporated constituents are condensed on the low temperature glass plate. Through the comparison and calculation of the gloss values before and after condensation, the fogging value of the specimen can be obtained.
Fogging Method: the specimen is heated in the glass beaker; its evaporated constituents are condensed on the low temperature glass plate. Through the comparison and calculation of the fogging values before and after condensation, the fogging value of the specimen can be obtained.
Weighing Method: the specimen is heated in the glass beaker; its evaporated constituents are condensed on the low temperature foil. Through calculating the changes of foil’s weight before and after condensation, the weight of the condensed constituents can be obtained.
Structure
PARAM FT-F1 Fogging Tester consists of high-temperature constant temperature bath, low-temperature constant bath, cooling plate, glass beaker, glass plate, reflectmeter, sample cutter and other accessories; this tester can accomplish sampling, heating, condensation and testing processes.
