Ash Fusion Tester - EATC16

Ash Fusion Determinator

EATC16

Overview

Ash Fusion Determinator EATC16 is designed for the determination of fusibility temperatures of coal ash, coke ash or biomass ash samples. This instrument complies to ISO, ASTM, CEN/TS, DIN, CEN/TR among other standards. EATC16 automatically determines four critical temperatures: Initial Deformation Temperature (DT), Softening Temperature(ST), Hemispherical Temperature (HT) and Fluid Temperature (FT). Observation and comparison of the sample deformations when compared to the relevant specification guidelines will enable specific deformation points to be recognized.

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
Standard Features
  • Precisely controlled high temperature horizontal resistance furnace
  • Programmable furnace temperature ranges.
  • Furnace is capable of working with oxidizing and reducing atmospheres depending on method.
  • For each batch up to 6 samples can be analyzed.
  • Three thermocouples are fitted to the furnace, first for furnace temperature control, second for precise sample.
  • temperature measurement, third for over temperature protection.
  • 1600°C tube furnace with integral high temperature resistance type heating elements
  • Flow meters for oxidizing, reducing gas flow (dependent on the requirements of the standards).
  • External link to PC & software.
  • High resolution camera for fast and accurate image recording.
  • Software allows for automatic analysis and identification of the four fusion points (DT, ST, HT & FT).
  • Alarms are fitted to indicate when supply gas pressures are running low. Pressure switches are fitted to all three gas lines (CO2, H2 & Purge gas).
