Features
Robust Furnace Structure
Frame-type enclosure with refractory bricks and high-temperature insulation fiber ensures thermal stability while minimizing heat loss to the surrounding environment.
Safe and Accessible Operation Design
Steel platforms are installed around the furnace for convenient operator access and maintenance.
Advanced Combustion Safety Protection
Automatic flame-out detection with visual and audible alarms; the system cuts off LPG supply to the affected burner while other burners continue operating.
Reliable Gas Supply and Control System
Equipped with gas solenoid valves, proportional valves, pressure transmitters, ball valves, regulators, and filters to ensure stable and safe gas delivery.
Precise Air–Fuel Ratio Control
Combustion air is supplied by a dedicated blower with frequency inverter for airflow adjustment, ensuring optimal combustion conditions.
Independent Control System
Dedicated control components manage combustion processes and simulate standard fire curves accurately.
Automatic Temperature Curve Tracking
Real-time comparison between actual furnace temperature and the preset fire curve, with automatic correction via burner output adjustment.
Comprehensive Data Recording
All automatic control and test data are stored in the computer system for traceability and accuracy verification.
Accessories
(1) Proportional flat-flame burners
(2) Gas solenoid valves and proportional valves
(3) Combustion air blower with frequency inverter
(4) Gas pressure regulators and filters
(5) T-type furnace pressure probes
(6) High-temperature exhaust fan with inverter
(7) Programmable logic controller (PLC) system
(8) Computer-based control and data acquisition system
Test Procedures
Install the horizontal test specimen securely in the furnace opening according to the test configuration.
Set test parameters through the control system, including fire curve, test duration, and safety limits.
Start the combustion system and initiate the standard fire exposure.
Monitor furnace temperature, pressure, and combustion status in real time via the computer interface.
The control system automatically adjusts burner output to maintain the specified temperature curve.
Upon test completion, shut down the gas supply and allow the furnace to cool before specimen removal.
Maintenance Information
Inspect burners, gas valves, and pipelines regularly to ensure proper operation and safety.
Check temperature and pressure sensors periodically and verify measurement accuracy.
Clean refractory surfaces and exhaust ducts to prevent residue buildup.
Ensure the exhaust fan and combustion air blower operate smoothly.
Back up test data and control records to maintain traceability.
Conclusion
The Horizontal Fire Resistance Test Furnace for Building Elements provides a reliable and standardized solution for evaluating the fire resistance performance of horizontal building components. With precise temperature control, robust safety systems, and comprehensive data acquisition, the furnace supports fire safety testing, material evaluation, and compliance with national and international fire resistance standards.
