Title:

FlexiHeatFire

Value Proposition:

The FlexiHeatFire is engineered to meet temperature load as per ASTM E119-18a and other user defined fire scenarios, making it a trusted solution for safety certification and structural member testing. It is an indigenously developed horizontal cum vertical split-type furnace. It can generate temperatures upto1100oC at three separate zones in a controlled manner on any identified structural components. It has been designed to cater for the requirements of thermo-mechanical loading of beam and column members with a higher rate of heating and any other structural and non-structural components with or without high-temperature protective coatings or insulations. A PC installed with the application software would provide the user interface, enabling the user to control, record and plot the graphs.

Summary Application:

• Standard ASTM E-119 temperature-time curve exposure to structural and non-

   structural elements

• Assessing thermo-mechanical behaviour of various components

• Assessing behaviour of members with various thermal-resistant coatings and insulators

Advantages:
  • Capable of generating standard ASTM E-119 temperature-time curve or any user-defined scenario fires
  • Flexible furnace of effective heating dimensions1400x1200x650mm
  • Consist of host PC with interface software and Temperature control system
  • Standardized: ASTM E-119, ISO 834
  • Data acquisition through software
  • Safe, reliable and repeatable
  • Easy to operate and environment friendly
