How Real Time 24/7 Candle Testing Works

Test #1 - ROC (Weight Loss)

2 KG High Quality Load Cell is used to measure the candles weight real time as it burns. The weight is measured approximately 900 times in the minimum 3 minute interval, then the average is calculated and saved.

Test #2 - Flame Height

2 High Quality Machine Vision Cameras are used to measure the candles flame height real time as it burns. The flame's height is measured approximately 900 times in the minimum 3 minute interval, the maximum is saved, then the average is calculated and saved.

Test #3 - Burn Pool Diameter

2 High Quality Infrared Cameras are used to measure the candles burn pool diameter real time as it burns. The burn pool diameter is measured approximately 180 times in the minimum 3 minute interval, the maximum is saved, then the average is calculated and saved.

Test #4 - Visible Sooting

A High Quality Specialized Camera and Industrial LED Light Panel are used to measure the candles visible soot emissions larger than 30µm (microns) real time as it burns. The soot is measured approximately 900 times in the minimum 3 minute interval, the maximum is saved, then the average is calculated and saved.

Test #5 - After Glow Visible Sooting

A High Quality Specialized Camera and Industrial LED Light Panel are used to measure the candles visible soot emissions larger than 30µm (microns) real time as it burns. The soot is measured approximately 5 times a second  and the amount of time that the presence of soot is greater than the ambient particulate level (which is automatically calibrated at the beginning of each burn cycle) is saved.
