（SHT 150）SELF HEATING SUBSTANCES TESTER

The SHT 150 (Self Heating Substances Tester) is a vital instrument used for the determination of a substance’s selfheating due to self oxidative heating and then decompose. The SHT 150 operates on the determination of the exothermal decomposition of sample being directly exposed to hot air at elevated temperatures.

APPLICATION

Spontaneous combustions and the destructive fires resulting from them have plagued all manner of industries from hotels, to construction and painting, to manufacturing and transportation and so on. The outcomes the SHT 150 provides are used for the flammability classification of solid substances and/or mixtures. This classification is necessary for carriage by rail or other such transport of energetic materials throughout the EU, the USA and the UN.
