Ash Fusion Tester - EATC17

Ash Fusion Determinator - EATC17

Overview

Elite Thermal’s Ash Fusion Determinator, EATC17 is the high-temperature floor-mount model, which works similarly to the EATC16plus, but for samples which fuse at higher temperatures. A maximum temperature of 1700°C can be achieved using heating elements consisting of molybdenum disilicide. The results obtained are similar for both EATC17 and EATC16 plus analysers.

Ash Fusion Tester - EATC17
High Resolution Integrated camera - to capture complete Ash Fusion temperatures Standard Features
  • A high resolution camera with a manually adjustable lens is mounted on a suitable arm to capture images of the samples being tested.
  • This setup allows for easy movement away from the furnace, providing convenient access to the work tube.
  • 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.
Standard Features
  • Precisely controlled high temperature horizontal resistance furnace.
  • Furnace is capable of operating in both oxidizing and reducing atmospheres.
  • Programmable furnace temperature ranges.
  • For each batch up to 6 samples can be analysed.
  • Maximum furnace temperature enabling biomass ash, RDF ash and coal ash testing.
  • Automatic and continuous recording of digital images.
  • Grid overlay feature for accurate comparison of sample height and width.
  • Automated digital image capture of samples.
  • The frequency of images recorded is set by customer preference, from every 1°C increment.
  • Alarms are fitted to indicate when supply gas pressure are running low.
  • Pressure switches are fitted to all three gas lines (CO2, H2 & purge gas).
