ISO 9150/BS EN 348 Protective Clothing Molten Metal Splashes Impact Resistance Tester

EN 384/ISO 9150 Molten Metal Splashes Impact Test Apparatus

Product Introduction

Projections of molten metal drops at a point on a vertical oriented test specimen and measurement of the number of the drops required to cause a 40 K temperature rise in a sensor behind the specimen.​

Features

Drop guide to collect the drops and to guide them towards the vertically oriented test specimen.

Senor for measuring the temperature linked to a recording device.

Holding frame and counterweights for the test specimen.

Motor speed can be adjust so that the steel rod is fed at the rate of (10 f 1) g/mm.

Needle valves adjust the O2 and acetylene flow rate.

LCD Screen display and control the motor speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What standards does the SL‑FL53 comply with?

A1: It meets AQ 6103, ISO 9150:1988, CSN EN 348:1992, GB 8965.2:2009, and GB/T 17599:1998 — covering China, Europe, and international requirements in one unit.

Q2: What materials can it test?

A2: Any pliable fabric or composite material used in protective clothing — welding apparel, foundry suits, and thermal barrier textiles.

Q3: What exactly does it measure?

A3: It counts how many molten metal droplets (0.50 ± 0.05 g each, at 20 drops/min) it takes to raise the sensor behind your fabric by 40 K — giving you a clear, objective protection rating.

Q4: How accurate and repeatable are the results?

A4: Very. The stepping motor delivers a precise 10 g/min feed rate, needle valves give fine gas control, and the 175 g counterweight ensures consistent specimen tension — so you get reliable, repeatable data every time.

Q5: Is it easy to operate?

A5: Absolutely. Set the motor speed on the LCD screen, light the torch, and start the test. Temperature rise is logged automatically — no complicated programming required.

Q6: What are the installation requirements?

A6: 220V, 50Hz, 5A power; oxygen and acetylene gas supply; install at 20 ± 2°C and 65 ± 5% RH. Compact 700×850×500 mm footprint, 42 kg — fits most labs.

Q7: What industries use this equipment?

A7: Foundries, metal processing facilities, protective clothing manufacturers, industrial safety laboratories, and R&D facilities.

Q8: How does the test work?

A8: Molten metal droplets are projected onto a vertically oriented specimen, and a sensor behind it measures the number of drops needed to raise the temperature by 40 K.
