QualiLOI™ Limiting Oxygen Index Chamber
QualiLOI™ Limiting Oxygen Index Chamber, is an economical and versatile instrument designed for evaluating the combustion performance of various materials including plastics, rubber, fiber, foamed plastics, film, textile, wood, and more under specified test conditions. This Basic Limiting Oxygen Index Chamber precisely determines the volume percentage concentration of the lowest oxygen level at which the polymer sustains combustion.
Accurate, reproducible, and convenient, this instrument offers fast testing capabilities for measuring polymer combustion performance. It serves as a reliable tool for identifying flame retardancy in polymers and can also be utilized for research purposes.
Under specified test conditions, such as indoor temperature, within an oxygen-nitrogen mixed gas flow, the measurement method to maintain the minimum oxygen concentration required for sample combustion defines the oxygen index.
The oxygen index method can be categorized into room temperature and high temperature methods based on the ambient temperature during combustion. Generally, a higher oxygen index indicates better flame retardant performance of the material, while a lower oxygen index suggests easier material ignition.
