TRDA/TRDL

Smoke DensityThe mass density is defined as the ratio between mass and volume. Density Test Device with Light Measurement System

Highlights

Test device for determining the smoke production of materials during thermal Decomposition reactionA decomposition reaction is a thermally induced reaction of a chemical compound forming solid and/or gaseous products. decomposition in accordance with DIN 50055

The TRDA measuring device – thanks to its Integrated Single Board Computer with Windows operating system, TRDA software and high-resolution color touch display – can be used in stand-alone mode for setting parameters and determining optical DensityThe mass density is defined as the ratio between mass and volume. density and transmission. Interfaces and analog outputs enable connectivity to peripheral devices for the fast and easy export of data and facilitate use in existing fire testing systems. Comprehensive data analyses can be performed via an external PC or notebook. Optional accessories allow for use of the light measurement system on various types of exhaust duct systems and greatly simplify calibration, operation and cleaning of the components.

Available versions:

This light measurement system comes in two versions, that only differ in its light source:

The TRDA uses a halogen lamp. The TRDL uses a helium-neon laser.

More information about the third version using LED technology (TRDA_LED) according to ISO/TS 19850:2022 can be found on our blog.
