（TPT 405）TESTING PRESSURE VESSEL

The TPT Series (Testing Pressure Vessel Series) is used for the classification of hazardous and dangerous substances (flammable and energetic materials) as required by UN testing standards by the means of the measurement of the pressure rise time inside a defined vessel.

APPLICATION

Identifying the pressure rise time is not the only function of the TPT series; it can also be useful for the characterization and general testing of unknown energetic materials. The sample is properly situated and then it is heated or ignited in a closed pressure vessel via a hot wire or a fuse head while the pressure-time profile is being recorded. The burning rate, maximum pressure, pressure rise time, etc. are recorded by the TPT. Obtained results serve for hazard classification of energetic materials, pyrotechnic substances, oxidizing solids and liquids.
