Thermal shock :

Compliance standards

• EN ISO 10545-9, ASTM C484, IS 13630 (Part-5)

Applications

1. To determine the Resistance to thermal shock of Ceramic tiles.

Vertical Thermal Tank

1.Designed for cooling ceramic tiles by immersing them in water

2.Suitable for sizes of up to 50×50 cm.

3.If the glazed tiles are showing an absorption coefficient ≤ 10% (m/m), then they must be immersed in a “Vertical Thermal Tank”

4.Fitted with flowmeter to maintain water flow rate of of 4 lt/min

5.Fitted with microprocessor based digital controller to maintain temperature of 15 ± 5 °C

6.Has sufficient depth to allow the tiles to be placed vertically, immersed and so that are not in contact with each other.

7.Water drainage outlet with pipe fitting

8.Stainless steel bucket for samples

Horizontal Thermal Tank

1.Designed for the indirect cooling of ceramic tiles, without immersion

2.Suitable for sizes of up to 50×50 cm

3.If the glazed tiles are showing an absorption coefficient >10% (m/m), then an operator must use “Horizontal Thermal Tank”.

4.Complete stainless steel tank structure

5.Aluminum plate of 5 mm thickness is kept inside the tank.

6.Flowmeter to maintain 4 lt/min water flow rate

7.Microprocessor based digital controller to maintain temperature of 15 ± 5 °C

8.Water drainage outlet with pipe fitting

9.Stainless steel bucket for samples

10.Supplied complete with a 5 kg pack of aluminum granules of different diameters (from 0.3 to 0.6 mm).
