Introduction to the Sulfur Dioxide Test Chamber and Its Applications
Does SO2 cause corrosion?
The answer is yes. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a common and relatively simple sulfur oxide and one of the major air pollutants. It has strong corrosivity and reacts with homogeneous materials to form salt substances to corrode the surface of the material and disintegrate the material into particles, eventually causing the material to age, fail and damage, and also affecting the performance of fixtures. In an acidic environment, the corrosivity of sulfur dioxide is likely to quickly destroy any components on the metal structure and cause irreversible damage in the process. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the concentration of sulfur dioxide in real time in the industrial field, and the sulfur dioxide test chamber plays an irreplaceable role in this detection.
Working Principle of Sulfur Dioxide Test Chamber:
By using sulfur dioxide gas, accelerate corrosion at a certain temperature to test the degree of destruction suffered by material or product within a certain period of time. Sulfur dioxide test chamber can be used to test the corrosion resistance of materials and their protective layers, and also to test the resistance of electronic components, metal materials and protective layers, and industrial products to sulfur dioxide corrosion. The products used for this test are mainly mechanical parts, electronic components, metal materials and their protective layers, as well as industrial products. By using sulfur dioxide test chamber, we can effectively evaluate the corrosion resistance of materials and provide reliable basis for the corrosion prevention of materials.
Functions of Sulfur Dioxide Test Chamber:
Sulfur dioxide test chamber is an efficient tool for testing the corrosivity of materials. It uses sulfur dioxide gas at a specific temperature to study the degree of damage to materials or products caused by corrosion. Sulfur dioxide test chamber can be used to test the corrosion resistance of materials and the quality of protective layer, and also the resistance of products to sulfur dioxide corrosion. In addition to testing the corrosion resistance of mechanical parts, electronic components and metal plates, it can also be used for gas corrosion test of industrial products.
Advantages of Sulfur Dioxide Test Chamber:
1. The edge cover of the door can ensure the appearance and convenience of the device when the door lock is opened;
2. The door of the chamber is made of transparent material so that the condition of the test samples can be clearly seen during the test;
3. The gas filter device effectively eliminates the contamination of the outdoor air;
4. The chamber body is welded by high temperature to be corrosion-resistant, easy to clean and leak-free;
5. The P.I.D temperature controller makes the error of the equipment within plus or minus 0.1 degree;
6. There are also multiple protection systems such as electronic and mechanical over-temperature protection, making the equipment more secure and reliable.

Environmental Requirements for Using Sulfur Dioxide Test Chamber:
When using sulfur dioxide test chamber, pay attention to control its environmental conditions. The optimum temperature is between 15℃ and 28℃, with a relative humidity of no more than 85%; no strong vibration, direct sunlight or radiation from radiant heat source, and no strong airflow around. At that time, the sulfur dioxide test chamber should be placed stable and keep horizontal, and leave enough space for maintenance and other operations.
Points to Note when Using the Sulfur Dioxide Test Chamber:
1. Do not turn on the power switch before filling the water, otherwise the heating element may be damaged;
2. When the pressure of the cylinder is less than 0.2MPa, it should be replaced in time;
3. CO2 sensor needs to be adjusted in a humid environment, so there should be sterile water in the humidifier;
4. When it is used only as a constant temperature incubator, the CO2 control system must be closed;
5. Be careful when cleaning the sulfur dioxide test chamber, do not touch the sensor, stirrer propeller and other components;
6. When unused for a long time, the moisture in the workroom should be removed, and the glass door should be opened for ventilation 24 hours before closure;
7. When handling, first take out the grids and humidifiers in the workroom, so as not to damage the glass door components due to shaking.

What are the differences of FMVSS 302, UL94 and IEC60695 for flammability test?

Image
The flammability of different materials, such as plastics and other materials used in items such as automobile interiors, electronic devices, and electrical appliances, is evaluated using a number of different standards. Some of these standards are FMVSS 302, UL 94, and IEC 60695. Nevertheless, there are a number of important distinctions between these standards: FMVSS 302 is a specialized standard that was designed for the automotive industry to analyze the flammability of materials used in car interiors. Its purpose is to measure the combustibility of these materials. The UL 94 standard is a more comprehensive regulation that assesses the combustibility of a variety of materials, including plastics, and has applications in a number of different sectors. IEC 60695 is a global standard that is used in the process of assessing the potential for electronic and electrical equipment to catch fire. Testing Procedures The flammability of materials is determined using a variety of testing ...

125 Grounding Contact Test 125.1 Grounding receptacles having a 5-15R,5-20R，6-13R，6-20R，7-15R，14-15Ror 15-15R configuration are to be subjected to the tests in this section. 125.2 Previously untested devices are to be used. Each device is to be mounted in a flush device box, or as otherwise intended, with its face in a vertical plane. A nonmetallic faceplate is to be installed if intended. A solid 14 AWG (2.1 mm2) copper conductor is to be connected to the receptacle grounding terminal. GNGPL SB1610_AL 125.3 With the receptacle oriented to create the maximum contact displacement (possible distortion of contact affecting its contact ability), the test pin A. Figure 125.1 is to be fully inserted in the grounding contact. A 5 lb (2.27 kg) weight is to be gradually suspended form the test pin 6 inches (152 mm) from the face of the receptacle. The weight is to be applied for 1 minute, following which, the weight is to be removed. The application of the weight is to be repeated with the rece...

Accessible parts of equipment with standard IEC 62368 General An accessible part of an equipment is a part that can be touched by a body part. For the purposes of dctermining an accessible part, a body part is represented by one or more of the specified test probes. Accessible parts of an equipment can include parts behind a door, panel, removable cover, etc. that can be opened without the use of a tool. Accessible parts do not include those that become accessible when floor standing equipment having a mass exceeding 40 kg is tilted. For equipment intended for building-in or rack-mounting, or for subassemblies and the like for incorporation in larger equipment,accessible parts do not include those that are not accessible when the equipment or subassembly is installed according to the method of mounting or installation specified in the installation instructions. A part is considered accessible if the instructions or markings intended to be followed require that a person phys...
