The Gravel Flame Jet Test Apparatus is designed to evaluate battery enclosure materials under simulated thermal runaway conditions. You can use this instrument to test sheet materials rather than entire battery assemblies, allowing you to efficiently assess material performance while reducing development costs and time. It provides precise control over flame and particle exposure, helping you determine the thermal and mechanical resilience of battery housing materials.

Application

You can use the apparatus in the following scenarios:

Battery housing material evaluation: Assess thermal and mechanical performance of sheet materials under simulated battery thermal runaway conditions.

Coating and surface protection testing: Determine material resistance to flame and particle impact.

Research and development: Optimize battery safety designs and reduce prototype testing costs.

Quality control laboratories: Routine evaluation of materials for compliance with flame and impact resistance standards.

Compatible test components: Flame jet burner, particle injection system, stainless steel sample racks, temperature measurement system.

Test Procedures

Install the test sample on the stainless steel sample rack in the designated test position.

Connect the methane, oxygen, and compressed air supplies.

Activate the flame jet burner and particle injection system according to the software control.

Record flame exposure and particle impact parameters using the thermocouples and data acquisition system.

Analyze the material’s thermal and mechanical performance based on temperature, time, and particle exposure data.

Export and review test reports using the integrated software.

Maintenance Information

Clean the flame burner and particle supply ports regularly to ensure consistent flame quality.

Check and calibrate mass flow controllers for methane, oxygen, and air periodically to maintain accuracy.

Inspect sample racks and thermocouples before each test to prevent mechanical deformation or sensor errors.

Keep the control box and software updated and ensure proper ventilation around the exhaust system.
