The NCD 1409 Toxicity Chamber consists of a about 1 m3 enclosure. The inside wall is lined with polypropylene to prevent the gaseous mixture from adhering and to make cleaning easier. Forced air extraction is installed in the chamber, and it can be opened or shut using the control panel as needed. A sampling port that is airtight is installed in the chamber. For proper mixing of the gaseous product inside the test chamber, an axial mixing fan is included. This fan is adjustable via the control panel that comes with the equipment.
Features:
The burner must be able to produce a flame that is around 100 mm in height.There is a provision for starting and stopping the burner from outside the chamber. For the purpose of measuring the temperature of the burner's flame, a digital temperature indicator is also installed.
The equipment includes wire mesh of the appropriate size.
