Coal Ash Fusibility Digital Test Furnaces
Carbolite | Sample Preparation - Inorganic
The CAF DIGITAL is designed to test coal ash fusibility according to the standards ASTM 1857-04 and BS ISO 540:2008.
It is supplied as standard with Windows 7 compatible image capture and reporting software.
Additional accessories are also available for testing of biomass and co-fired biomass and coal ashes in accordance with the following standards: ASTM 1857-04 and BS ISO 540:2008.
In addition a fully manual CAF furnace, the CAF 16/38, is also available, which requires manual observation and recording of the transition points.
Key Features:
- For determination of ash fusibility for coal ash (and optionally biomass or co-fired ash)
- Suitable for testing to ASTM 1857-04 and BS ISO 540:2008
- Up to 12 samples may be tested simultaneously
- Tests can be run up to 1600°C
