Ash Fusion Tester - EATC16

Ash Fusion Determinator - EATC16 Series

Overview

The Ash Fusion Determinator is designed to determine the fusibility temperatures of coal ash, coke ash, or biomass ash samples. The EATC16 Series instruments, including the EATC16 manual, EATC16, and EATC16plus, comply with various standards such as ISO, ASTM, CEN/TS, DIN, and CEN/TR. These instruments automatically determine four critical temperatures: Initial Deformation Temperature (DT), Softening Temperature (ST), Hemispherical Temperature (HT), and Fluid Temperature (FT). By observing and comparing the sample deformations with the relevant specification guidelines, specific deformation points can be accurately identified.

Ash Fusion Tester - EATC16
High Resolution Integrated camera - to capture complete Ash Fusion temperatures
  • A high-resolution camera with a manually adjustable lens mounted on a suitable arm is used to view the samples being tested. This allows for easy movement away from the furnace for work tube access.
  • The video image is sent to a high-end computer system where it will be recorded and displayed in a specially created logging program
  • Grid overlay feature for accurate comparison of sample height and width
  • Accepts specimen shapes as per standards viz. cylinder, pyramid, upright pyramid & truncated pyramid
