Test Principles

The F313 Plastic Smoke Density Tester measures smoke optical density by placing a burning plastic sample in a controlled environment. A light source passes through the smoke, and a silicon photodiode detects the transmitted light. The system calculates the specific optical density of the smoke. Maximum optical density is measured to evaluate the smoke-generating characteristics of the plastic material. All measurements strictly comply with GB, ISO, and ASTM standards.

Operation Instructions

Sample preparation: Ensure test samples meet dimensional requirements (100 × 100 mm, thickness ≤50 mm).

Device setup: Connect power and set appropriate parameters, including temperature and gas flow.

Start test: Press the “Start Test” button; the system automatically ignites the sample and collects data.

Safety precautions: Operators should wear protective equipment and ensure adequate ventilation.

Test completion: Data is automatically displayed and can be printed. Clean the chamber to remove residual smoke before turning off the device.

Conclusion

The F313 Plastic Smoke Density Tester delivers accurate, repeatable measurement of smoke generation characteristics in compliance with major international standards. With high-precision optical detection, automated operation, and a robust safety-oriented design, it supports reliable fire-safety evaluation across plastics, construction, automotive, and aerospace applications. Its versatility and standards compatibility make it an essential tool for material assessment, product development, regulatory compliance, and public safety assurance.
