Oxygen Index / Temperature Index Test Equipment OIT-351 – Precision Flammability Measurement
The OIT-351 Oxygen Index / Temperature Index Test Equipment is a highly accurate system designed to evaluate the flammability and combustion resistance of materials under controlled atmospheric conditions. It determines:
• Oxygen Index (OI)
The minimum oxygen concentration at which a vertically held material stops burning within 3 minutes.
• Temperature Index (TI)
The temperature at which the material ceases to burn in normal atmospheric air (21% oxygen) within 3 minutes.
Compliant with ASTM D2863 and IS 10810 test methods, this instrument provides a reliable means of assessing material safety, especially for applications involving cables, polymers, plastics, insulation materials, and engineering components.
The equipment features easy sample loading, a simplified ignition system, and a direct digital readout, reducing operator dependency and eliminating manual calculations. The supplied Indian analyser ensures accurate oxygen concentration measurement, and for long-term performance, an optional paramagnetic analyser can be used for extended sensor life (over 15 years).
