Testing Instrument for the Safety and Performance of Non-Metal Cars Interior Materials

Product catalog summary

Overview
The FT-F1 is a specialized instrument designed for evaluating the fogging characteristics of volatile constituents in materials used in cars and aircraft, such as plastics, textiles, leather, and adhesives, under high-temperature conditions. It is also applicable for testing the fogging phenomenon in high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps of cars.

Professional Technology
- Features a wide range and high precision temperature control device.
- Capable of conducting tests on six specimens simultaneously.
- Ensures accurate and reliable test data.

Test Principle
The instrument heats a preconditioned specimen, causing volatile constituents to evaporate and condense on a glass plate or aluminum foil in a cooling chamber. The fogging characteristics are determined by measuring the weight and fogging value of the condensed constituents.

Standards Compliance
The FT-F1 conforms to multiple international and national standards, including ISO 6452, DIN 75201, SAE J1756, and others.

Test Methods
- Gloss Method: Measures fogging value by comparing gloss values before and after condensation.
- Haze Method: Measures fogging value by comparing haze values before and after condensation.
- Weighing Method: Measures fogging value by analyzing weight changes of aluminum foil before and after condensation.

Instrument Structure
The FT-F1 consists of a high-temperature bath, low-temperature bath, cooling plate, beaker, glass plate, meter, and sample cutter, facilitating sampling, heating, condensation, and testing processes.

Operation Process
1. Prepare specimens.
2. Activate temperature baths.
3. Clean beakers and glass plates.
4. Place specimens and cooling chamber.
5. Conduct test for a specified period.
6. Measure gloss, fogging, or weight values.
7. Compare data to obtain results.

Applications
- Basic Applications: Testing volatility of car decorating articles, plastic particles.
- Extended Applications: Testing volatility of carpets, leather, sponge, rubber, EPE thermal insulation materials, HID lamps, and adhesive products.

Technical Specifications
- High-Temperature Bath: Room temperature to 150°C (optional up to 280°C), accuracy ±0.1°C.
- Low-Temperature Bath: 0 to 100°C, accuracy ±0.1°C.
- Power Supply: 220VAC 50Hz / 120VAC 60Hz.

Configurations
- Standard: Includes instrument, temperature control device, gloss meter, sample clamp ring, and more.
- Optional: Haze meter, analytical balance, additional beakers, and other accessories.

Testing Instrument for the Safety and Performance of Non-Metal Cars Interior Materials-1

PARAM® FT-F1 Fogging Tester FT-F1 is professionally designed for the fogging characteristics evaluation of volatile constituents of decorating materials used in cars and aircrafts, e.g. plastic articles, polyurethane, textiles, leather, adhesives, nonwovens and thermal forming elastomers at high temperature conditions. Furthermore it could be used for the fogging phenomenon test of high intensity discharge (HID) headlamps of cars. Professional Technology    Wide range and high precision of temperature control device to support the combinations of non-standard test conditions 6 test stations can perform specimen test or blank test simultaneously This instrument ensures accurate and reliable test data through stable running condition Test Principle The preconditioned specimen is heated and evaporates in the beaker; the volatile constituents condense on the glass plate or aluminum foil treated in cooling chamber. Take off the glass plate or aluminum foil when the condensation process is finished. The fogging characteristics could be obtained by measuring condensed constituent weight and fogging value on the glass plate or aluminum foil and comparing with the data before condensation process. This instrument conforms to the multiple international and national standards: ISO 6452, DIN 75201, SAE J1756, QB/T 2728, BS EN 14288, PV 3920, PV 3015, ES-X 83231, NES M0161, D45 1727, GM 9305P, TSM 0503G Three Test Methods Gloss Method: The specimen is heated in the beaker and its volatile constituents are condensed on the cooling glass plate. The fogging value could be obtained by calculating and comparing the gloss values occurred before and after condensation process. Haze Method: The specimen is heated in the beaker and its volatile constituents are condensed on the cooling glass plate. The fogging value of the specimen could be obtained by calculating and comparing the fogging values occurred before and after condensation process. Weighing Method: The specimen is heated in the beaker and its volatile constituents are condensed on the cooling aluminum foil. The fogging value-the weight of condensed constituents could be obtained by analyzing the weight changes of aluminum foil occurred before and after condensation process. Instrument Struc
