Custom Apparatus
We appreciate that sometimes standard spec equipment isn't enough; whether you need an alteration on a piece of equipment we already manufacture, or something completely customised, our experienced engineers are always happy to find a solution that meets your exact needs - examples of some of our must recent custom-made instrustments include:
- CTL20 Flammable Range Test Apparatus - Determines lower and upper concentration limits of flammability of chemicals having sufficient vapour pressure to form flammable mixtures in air.
- CTL30 Gas Probe Incendivity & Calibration Apparatus - To determine if incendive discharges can be developed from plant equipment or items which are capable of igniting highly flammable gases, e.g. propane or hydrogen.
- CTL32 Powder Chargeability Test Apparatus - For measurement of a material's propensity to generate charge.
- CTL44 Electric Spark Tester - Meets the Energetic Materials Testing & Assessment Policy Committee‘s (Defence Ordnance Group) Manual of Tests (EMTAP)* (* DEKRA manufacture the apparatus required for the initial screeing test (i.e test no.6). Test samples are subjected to discharges of 4.5 J, 0.45 J or 0.045 J energy.)
- CTL52 Flammability of Gases Test A11 Screening Apparatus - For conducting the A11 EC physical properties tests.
