UL 2596 Torch and Grit (TaG) Tester，Test Equipment for Battery Enclosure Materials
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.
