Oxygen Index Test equipment for ASTM D2863 is done together with Plastics' temperature index measurement. One of the most important tests for LSZH & PVC compounds for insulation and jacket-ting of cable. Can a cost-determining test such as this index give you a lot of information about the PVC? Whether you are using or buying from your supplier. A few of them are below. 1) Oxygen index Test is 29 or 31 you can find 2% of the cost difference between these two points of the PVC O2 index. 2) This test basically derives how far the PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) compound can resist the flame. To get started for burning in normal temp of ambient. This is also called the ignition point. 3) Similarly, the Temperature index shows the value of temperature, Plastic requires to get burning flame at a natural level of oxygen i.e 20.8%.

We classify Oxygen Index Test equipment for ASTM D2863 as one of the most basic and essential tests for cable and plastic manufacturers. It not only provides critical quality data but also information about the cost of the compound formulation.
