Key Features
- Thermostatically controlled bath with over-heating safety devices, designed to operate at up to 130°C and control the temperature within ±0.5°C
- Hollow cooling plates of rust proof metal with aluminium on the side facing the glass plate, with cooling water flowing through two connections
- Cooling water mean temperature kept at 21°C, with an inlet to outlet difference not above 1°C
- Flat bottomed beakers of heat-resistant glass, with rust proof steel metal rings to keep the test pieces flat
- Float-glass plates for the condensation of the fogging
- Reflectometer, also known as a gloss meter, used with a spacer to prevent contact with the condensate

About This Product
A fogging test checks how much vapour a material gives off when it is heated, because that vapour can condense on cooler surfaces such as glass inside a vehicle. A test piece is placed in a beaker in the heated bath, a glass plate is kept cool above it, and the vapour condenses on the plate. The condensate on the plate is then measured with a reflectometer, also known as a gloss meter, using a spacer so that nothing touches the condensate. The Fogging Tester can be supplied and exported to buyers in Afghanistan, Poland, Suriname, Croatia and Mauritania.
