DETERMINATION OF RESISTANCE TO THERMAL SHOCK

About DETERMINATION OF RESISTANCE TO THERMAL SHOCK

Principle

Determination of resistance to thermal shock of a whole tile by cycling 10 times between the temperatures of cold water and a temperature just above that of boiling water. Usually tests are carried out between 15 Degree Celsius and 145 Degree Celsius.

Also accommodates various tile size such as : 600 x 600 MM, 1000 x 1000 MM, 1200 x 1200 MM, and 800 x 1200 MM

Salient features

• The machine is capable to test sample up to 1200 X 1200 mm.
• This low temperature bath is designed to match
• Capable to maintaining the temperature
• This water bath is ideal for both the tests 1) Testing with immersion and 2)Testing without immersion.
• There are two separate chambers for Testing with and without immersion.
• In case of all tiles having water absorption not greater than 10 percent,the bath is not covered and is of sufficient depth to allow the tiles to be placed vertically and immersed completely.
• In case of glazed tiles having water absorption greater than 10 percent, the bath is covered with a 5 mm thick aluminum plate in such a manner that the water directed towards the surface, remains in contact with the plate.
• Covering the aluminum plate is a layer of aluminum grains approximately 5 mm thick with diameter in the range of 0.3 mm to 0.6 mm.
• The water flow rate for both water bath will be 4 liter per min.
• The temperature will be controlled with the PID Controller.

Reliable Thermal Shock Testing

Ideal for rigorous industrial applications, this device facilitates the accurate assessment of tile resistance to sudden temperature changes. Operating with a stable 230V, 50Hz single-phase AC supply, the equipment ensures repeatable results over multiple cycles. Its silver finish and robust build make it a preferred solution for laboratories and manufacturers who prioritize product reliability.


Precise Temperature Cycling

The test process involves cycling the tile 10 times between 15C (cold water) and 145C (hot water just above boiling) to simulate real-life thermal stress. This method helps ascertain whether tiles can withstand rapid shifts in temperature without cracking or degrading, ensuring high product standards for both local use and export.
