CAF G5

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Carbolite Gero CAF G5 is an advanced ash fusibility furnace designed for testing coal, biomass, and solid recovered fuels (SRF) ash. It features automated image analysis, high-resolution cameras, and efficient testing capabilities.
Specifications: The furnace operates up to 1600°C with a precision of ±3°C above 800°C. It supports both reducing and oxidizing gas modes with a maximum gas pressure of 276 mbar. The work tube has a 79 mm internal diameter, and the furnace uses six silicon carbide heating elements.
Standards Compliance: The CAF G5 conforms to several standards, including BS ISO 540:2008, ASTM D 1857, and DD CEN/TS 15370-1:2006, ensuring reliable and standardized testing results.
Features: Key features include automatic and manual analysis options, digital image capture, and a configurable grid for sample analysis. The software provides graphical data on melt point profiles and allows for customizable data display.
Gas Requirements: The furnace requires specific gases for different modes: N2 or CO2 for purge, O2 or Air for oxidizing, and CO + CO2 or H2 + CO2 for reducing environments.
Safety and Environment: The furnace includes a fail-safe gas system, CO alarm, and requires forced air ventilation. It operates in conditions of 5°C to 40°C with a relative humidity of up to 80%.
Testing Capabilities: The furnace can conduct up to three tests per day, with each test accommodating more than six samples simultaneously. The software records images at intervals set by the user, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.
Accessories: Standard accessories include a sample carrier, sample tiles, loading tools, and test piece molds for both coal ash and biomass/SRF.
Conclusion: The CAF G5 furnace is a robust solution for laboratories requiring precise and efficient ash fusibility testing, offering enhanced features and compliance with international standards.
