PLATE
THERMOMETER (PLT-01-ATX)
PLT-01-ATX
Plate thermometer
The PLT-01-ATX plate
thermometer is used in many kinds of "fire testing" for measuring the thermal
exposure of objects under test, and for controlling the fire temperature. It
complies with the requirements of EN 1363 part 1 "Fire Resistance Testing
General Requirements" and is built according to the recommendations of the
Swedish National Testing and Research Institute.

In fire resistance tests, the specimens are
exposed to a heat flux that is caused both by radiation and convection. The
PLT-01-ATX has a flat and relatively large exposed area (4),and it is isolated on the
back (8). Compared to a normal thermocouple (TC) the plate thermometer's
sensitivity to convection and radiation more closely resembles that of a typical
specimen in a fire test. In addition a 15 mm diameter area (3) around the centre
is specially treated. This is done to achieve a directional (cosine) sensitivity
to radiation that is also representative of that of a typical
specimen.
Carefully designed, the plate thermometer
can act as a direct measurement of the heat load as experienced by a specimen.
In a typical fire resistance test several PLT-01-ATX's are placed alongside the
specimen surface.
By using plate thermometers, fire tests in
different ovens and at different institutes are harmonised.
