The Oxygen Index is, perhaps, the most economical and precise quality control test of combustible materials. Its ease of use together with high levels of precision has made this technique a primary characterising and quality control tool to the plastic and electric cable industries and it has been specified by several military and transport groups. The technique measures the minimum percentage of oxygen in the test atmosphere that is required to marginally support combustion.
Oxygen Index Tester Use:
It can be used for measuring the lowest volume percent concentration of the oxygen in the polymer burning progress.
It accords with ISO 4589 and ASTM D2863.
