Ash Fusion Temperature, AF700 (LECO)

Ash fusion temperatures are a critical quality control parameter in predicting the performance of a specific fuel, evaluating the tendency of a fuel to slag, and controlling the melting temperature and behavior of mold powder in steel-casting production.

The AF700 Ash Fusion Determinator automatically monitors ash cone deformation temperatures using Windows®-based software. It increases laboratory throughput automatically determining the ash fusibility temperatures (IT, ST, HT, and FT) using the software's Image Recognition Functions (IRF). A complete image history for all analyzed samples can be digitally archived and retrieved to make objective determinations and confirmations of deformation temperatures. Door interlocks and an integrated carbon monoxide detector provide increased laboratory safety.
