High Temperature Oxygen Index Tester

The High Temperature Oxygen Index Tester is an advanced combustion testing instrument designed to determine the minimum oxygen concentration required to sustain flame propagation in materials under elevated temperature conditions. It evaluates thermal stability and flame retardancy properties, critical for aerospace, automotive, and industrial material development.

• Type: High-temperature oxygen index (OI) analyzer
• Test Method: ASTM D2863 (Oxygen Index) with elevated temperature capability
• Temperature Range: Ambient +20°C to 400°C (±1°C accuracy)
• Key Metrics:
  • Oxygen Index (OI) at 23°C and elevated temperatures
  • Flame Spread Rate (cm/s)
  • Time-to-Ignition (TTI, seconds)

• NFPA 701 (Flammability of textiles)
• GB/T 2406.2 (Chinese oxygen index standard)

1. Aerospace: Evaluating thermal protection systems
2. Automotive: Testing interior material flammability
3. Fire Safety: Certifying flame-retardant coatings
4. R&D: Developing high-temperature composites

1. Sample Preparation: Cut to size, clamp vertically
2. Parameter Setup: Select temperature (e.g., 200°C) and O₂ range
3. Testing: Ignite burner and adjust gas flow
4. Analysis: Calculate OI at target temperature
5. Cleaning: Automated soot extraction

• Heat-resistant gloves required for sample handling
• Gas leak detectors mandatory
• Maintain 1m clearance from exhaust vents
