The "Meringage" Furnace for Fire Resistance Testing:
The "Meringage" device is a furnace designed with an ISO 5660 conical resistance, primarily used to heat PVC pipes and fittings in drainage and sanitary systems. It measures the rate of expansion due to heat to ensure compliance with the "NF Fire Safety" application. Products achieving an expansion rate of over 800% can receive the NF Me certification and marking.
Technical Characteristics:
The "Meringage" furnace includes:
  • A carousel with metallic wedges for height adjustment based on test tube thickness, ranging from 3 to 8 mm.
  • An adjustable support for positioning and fixing the flowmeter at the furnace center.
  • A removable specimen holder for sample placement under the heating cone.
  • A PID temperature controller with 1°C resolution and ±0.1% FS accuracy.
  • A power unit (35 A / 400 V) with phase angle control.
Dimensions:
Frame: 820 mm high x 700 mm long x 650 mm deep, with a 280 mm high hood and a 100 mm diameter exhaust pipe.
Weight: Approximately 60 kg.
Supply:
Max temperature: 850°C (approximately 700°C for thermal flow 50 KW/m²).
Power supply: 220 V / 50 Hz / 5000 W max.
Adjustable thermal flow up to 70 KW/m².
Options:
  • Flowmeter with millivoltmeter for thermal flow regulation (requires water circulation).
  • Marking gauge with a graduated ruler for precise expansion measurement.
  • Extended lengths with storage shelves and castors for floor installation.
  • Fume extraction with an exhaust hood (minimum capacity of 300 m³/h).

THE "MERINGAGE" / FURNACE FOR FIRE RESISTANCE TESTING: The "Meringage" device is a Furnace with an ISO 5660 conical resistance. This appliance is mainly used to heat PVC pipes and fittings used in drainage and sanitary systems to measure their rate of expansion due to heat. This measure is intended to check whether these PVC products comply with the new application "NF Fire Safety". The qualification tests with this device make it possible to obtain the NF Me certification and to affix the new "NF Me" marking on PVC pipe having an expansion rate of more than 800%.
