Kernel Test Instrument，NY/T 1860 lab material property analyzer
The Kernel Test Instrument (also known as the Koenen Test Apparatus) is a specialized safety diagnostic system used to determine the sensitivity of solid and liquid substances to the effects of intense heat under high confinement. By subjecting a substance to a controlled thermal load within a steel tube fitted with various orifice plates, you can assess its potential for explosive decomposition. This instrument is essential for the identification, classification, and safety assessment of energetic materials, ensuring they are handled and transported in compliance with global hazardous goods regulations.
Applications
The Kernel Test Instrument is used to assess the sensitivity of solid and liquid substances to high thermal effects under highly confined conditions, facilitating material identification, classification, and safe transport evaluation.

Test Procedures
1. Pre-Operation Preparation
Environmental Check: Ensure temperature is between -5°C and 45°C, humidity <95%, and adequate ventilation.
Equipment Self-Check: Verify heating components, ignition system, video monitoring, and safety devices are operational.
2. Operating Procedures
Mode Selection:
Standard Mode: One-button start for automatic test completion.
Calibration Mode: Manually record heating times from 135°C to 285°C to calculate heating rates.
Test Procedure:
Sample Loading: Layer solid/liquid substances in designated compartments.
Orifice Plate Replacement: Gradually adjust orifice diameters (1.0–20.0 mm) for burst testing.
Automatic Ignition: Initiated via wireless remote control; electronic ignition ensures safety.
Result Evaluation:
Observe steel pipe rupture morphology; if ultimate diameter ≥ 1.0mm, determine explosive risk.
3. Post-Operation Procedures
Data Storage: Test results automatically generate reports and store data.
Equipment Cleaning: Monitor status through front access door and remove residues.
