3.1 Brief introduction

GB2406-2009

50 3

OI Tester is compliant with GB2406-2009 and Used for testing the

oxygen concentration (volume percent) needed when polymer is burning.
With the following features:
(1) Its simply structured, and easy to operate,
(2) It can be used as a means of identifying polymers
combustibility, also a relevant research tool. Thereby, we can get
a better understanding of the polymer burning.
(3) Suitable for testing plastic, rubber, bubble and other
materials combustibility.
(4) Its result is accurate. So, its an essential testing
instrument when researching and producing antiflaming materials.

14.1L/min
X
GB/T5454-1997 As per
GB2406-2009 requirement, mixed gas flow velocity in the burning
barrels is 41cm/s,and thus get the mixed gas flow is 14.1L/min
Can also calculate the required flow based on special standard.
Formula: burning barrel sectional area X flow velocity(pay attention
the the unit conversion).Some standard like: GB/T5454-1997 listed
the mixed gas flow directly, and adjust the flow based on it.

on the top of adjustable sliding sleeve.Can discharge the adjustable
sliding sleeve and put the test sample holder on the sliding sleeve
directly when the height is beyond of standard requirement.

Full scale adjusting..The most oxygen which user use is industry

oxygen,and its purity is different due to different producing area.So
please mark oxygen density when change the oxygen cylinder every
time.See the following steps:close the nitrogen cylinder,open the
oxygen cylinder and clean for several minitues.Make the control
cabinet is full of nitrogen,adjust thefull scale button behind
of the control cabinet,change the previous oxygen density to be oxygn
cylinder density.Generally,the reference value is 99.2% or about
99.3%.And also inquiry oxygen producer directly.

sample is burning quickly,and the oxygen density is 18%;if the
testing sample extinguish immediately,please choose the oxygen

Close the flow adjusting valve and flo valve on the

flowmeter,open the oxygen cylinder valve and nitrogen cylinder
valve,adjust the reducing valve and make the pressure output about
0.2-0.3Mpa,then adjust pressure maintaining valve to keep oxygen and
nitrogen pressure on the control panel to be 0.05-0.15MPathen adjust
the flow valve,press the power supply switch and turn on it. (before
adjusting,please pull the hand knob cover and push in,the hand knob
will not rotate if not pull out.)Pay attention to the oxygen density
on the LDC screen and the mixed gas flow meets the required
flow.Please remember to do it carefully and slowly during
adjusting.The display will not have change immediately when move the
adjusting valve knob,because the air should be mixed completely in
the air cylinder.Waiting for 30 seconds after adjusting value is
stable and then wash the burning barrel to make the inside air to
be similar as adjustd mixed gas.

REV A

Ignite the test sample as per standard requirement after

washing( see the ignitor using as above-mentioned),move the fire ways
at once after test sample burning.

Record the testing process as per standard and fill the testing
report after test.

Turn off the instrument power supply; break the host power supply
switch and air source valve,keep the instrument and site clean and
clear.
4.3 Testing steps:
1 15 50mm

Get the standard testing sample at least 15pcs, number each of

them,mark any one side about 50mm,and insert another side to the
testing fixture in the burning barrel,hang the test sample on the
testing sample fixture and cover incendiary cylinder.

mixed flow to be 10L0.5L/min(the max diameter of spherical float)
and the value displayed on the digital display window is just the
value of oxygen density.If increase the oxygen density,then increase
oxygen flow and decrease nitrogen flow;otherwise conversely.

4.4 Testing method

A Top ignition method
1

Ignite the ignitor and make the flame bottom visible part can
touch test sampe top and cover the whole top surface.Dont make the
flame to touch edge and side surface of the test sample.
2 180

Timing is over when the test sample meets or exceeds the marking
line in 180seconds;adjust the oxygen density,wipe the burning barrel
and surface dirt on the ignitor.Make the next experiment after the
temperature of burning barrel return back to normal or change another
burning barrel with normal temperature.
3 30s

Move the ignitor if the material are not on ignition within 30

seconds,and adjust oxygen density and start experiment again.
BDiffused ignition method
1
6mm
30s 30s 180s 5s

REV A

Instrument Name Digital Readout Oxygen Index Tester YN61037
Model No.

Ignite the ignitor ,down and move the ignitor to make the flame
visible part can touch the top surface of test sampe and put on
vertical side surface about 6mm.Start timing.The longest action time
of flame is 30s and start to timing for 180s after 30s.Move the ignitor
left and right and observe the test sample every 5s til the vertical
side surface burning or visible burning part reach marking line,then
move the ignitor,start to timing and observe the the burning length
of the test sample.
2 180

Timing is over when the test sample meets or exceeds the marking
line within 180s.Adjust oxygen density,wipe the burning barrel and
surface dirt on the ignitor to make the temperature of burning barrel
return back to normal or change another burning barrel with normal
temperature.

Switch off the power supply ,air source and clean the residue
after testing.

5.1 Warnings& Cautions
Please read the
following contents carefully before any operation:
Warnings
5.2 Important brief summary

REV A

Instrument Name Digital Readout Oxygen Index Tester YN61037
Model No.

Cautions
1 1MPa

The inside pressure of oxygen cylinder and nitrogen cylinder

should not be less than 1Mpa,Please make replacement on time if the
pressure is lower than 1Mpa.
2Ignite the ignitor with lighter.
3
Adjust the flow evenly,dont be unstable.
4

Wipe the burning barrel and surface dirt of the ignitor termly
and clean the burning dripping on the metal net of burning barrel
to keep the smooth air.
5
Please contact us if any problem.Dont discharge the instrument
by yourself,expecially for the component.
6
Friendly reminder:Keep the oxygen cylinder and nitrogen
cylinder far away from fire source and be safety,as they are high
pressure vessel.
5.3 Calibration instrument

Usually,calibrate the instrument termly.Calibrate the

instrument once the calibration value is beyond of permissible

error range.

Please inpect the instrument calibration value every year to
ensure the same value as experiment result.
6 Troubleshooting

If any problem of the instrument or misoperation,and still cant
solve as per our listed dealing method,please contact
us:breakdown,possible reasons,inspect steps,solution.
7 Oxygen index influence factor and
discussion
Due to too many
factors,now analyse main factors only:
1 gas-flow rate

,

The faster of the gas-flow rate,the more oxygen flow in the unit
time and it will be helpful for test sample burning;on the other
hand,overlarge gas-flow rate will take away mass heat and influence
burning.
2 Oxygen density and purity

REV A

Instrument Name Digital Readout Oxygen Index Tester YN61037
Model No.

Obviously,the higher oxygen density will be useful for test

sample burning;otherwise,its bad for test sample
burning.Therefore,oxygen density control and gas system joint should
be calibrated termly.
100

Usually,we regard oxygen and nitrogen purity to be 100%,but there

is a little errorfor industrial gas.The lower purity,the bigger
error;by the way,the decline of pressure in the cylinder has
influence on the oxygen density.
3

Test sample size&making test sample burning speed is related

with test sample shape,size and making method.
4

Pressure control Some polymer oxygen index is sensitive for the

decompression,it may resulted by continously removing the propduct
and speed up degradation of the polymer.
5

Temperature Temperature has big influence on the oxygen

REV A

Instrument Name Digital Readout Oxygen Index Tester YN61037
Model No.

index.It has little influence under room temperature but has various
influence on the polymer in high temperature.
6

Plasticizer and padding The testing value of oxygen index is

always the one which most volatile component,thats oxygen index
of plasticizer.
