Instrumentation and Measuring Equipment
Instrumentation was provided in accordance with requirements of the standard.
• Using thermocouples to monitor the temperature of the furnace atmosphere.
• Pressure sensors within the furnace to monitor furnace atmosphere pressure.
• Thermocouples monitored the temperature of the unexposed surface of the panel.
• Cotton pads and gap gauges to evaluate the impermeability of the specimen to hot gases.
• A water cooled foil flux-metre to record heat radiation from the panel.
