ACCELERATED CARBONATION CHAMBER

Compliance Standards

IS 516 (Part 5/Sec 1): 2018/ EN 12390-12: 2020/ EN 13295/ BS 1881-210: 2013/ISO 1920-12:2015

Applications:

The accelerated carbonation test is used to predict the carbonation depth in concrete, which can affect the steel reinforcement's susceptibility to corrosion. The Accelerated Carbonation Test is a crucial method for assessing concrete's durability, particularly its resistance to carbonation-induced corrosion.

Salient Features:

1. Double wall construction
2. Interior fabricated from high grade stainless steel (S.S.304).
3. Exterior body made of Mild steel material ‑ which is duly powder coated in attractive shades
4. Double walled metal door with sponge ‑ type silicon gasket for air‑tight sealing
5. Electrical wiring as per CE Compliance
6. Chamber illumination is accomplished by Fluorescent light with door switch.
7. Cord wire duly tested and inspected with stress factor as per CE standard
8. Electric Motor located at the back side of unit, protected with safety cover to avoid accident
9. Standard motor of reputed Make
10. User friendly and tactfully designed chamber door and locking mechanism
11. Aesthetic outer appearance and high quality
12. Long lasting SS tubular heaters used as heating element. The stainless steel fins provided to ensure better heat transfer.
13. Hermetically sealed compressor CFC free compressor (134 A gas) coupled with evaporation coil and condenser.

Insulation:

70mm polyurethane insulation (PUF)/ fiberboard to ensure better insulation and less leakage of temperature or RH from inner body to the surroundings

Air Circulation:

Temperature is maintained by a quiet running blower circulation air throughout the chamber. Forced air circulated vertically down and re circulated throughout the chamber for uniform temperature and humidity.

Humidity:

Humidity created by steam injection method. The boiler tank is fitted in the back side of the chamber for better servicing, Electromagnetic switch for controlling the wet heater from burning off if water level is not adequate. Float valve provided to control water level in the boiler tank.

Heating & Cooling System:

Long lasting SS tubular heaters used as heating element. The stainless steel fins provided to ensure better heat transfer.

Hermetically sealed compressor CFC free compressor (134-A Gas) coupled with evaporation coil and condenser

Trays for samples:

1. Removable S.S. trays
2. Manufactured from strong S.S. Rods to with‑stand heavy load of test specimens
3. Such trays also facilitates better air circulation
4. The distance between trays will be 15‑20 centimeters

Control:

Microprocessor based Digital Auto‑Tune PID temperature and direct RH digital controller. Humidity directly measured in % RH by electronic sensor.

Safety Features:

1. High temperature safety cut off
2. Low water level boiler cut off
3. Electrical overload cut off
4. Time delay for compressor switch ON
5. Electrical circuit breaker
