NLK apparatus according to EN 459-2

Variants

The reactivity of fine lime during slaking is tested by measuring the temperature increase that occurs during its reaction with water as a function of the reaction time. This process is called NLK (wet erasure curve). The equipment and measuring method are based on EN 459-2.

For the reaction process, 150 +/- 0.5 g of undissolved lime is added to the Dewar vessel, which contains 600 +/- 1 g of distilled water at approx. 20° C. As the contents of the Dewar flask must be completely mixed throughout the entire duration of the experiment, this apparatus is equipped with an agitator (speed 350 +/- 1/min).

During the reaction, the heat energy released heats the water. The temperature increase is recorded by a high-quality temperature sensor and can optionally be transferred to software for evaluation.

The company pdv-software GmbH from Goslar has developed the software solution pdv-nlk3 for the acquisition, storage and mathematical evaluation of the measured values to match our NLK apparatus.

• Recording of values via two temperature sensors/measuring transducers
• Standard-compliant recording and storage of the wet extinguishing curve (NLK)
• Evaluation in accordance with DIN EN 459-2 using the characteristic values T0, tmax, Tmax, T’max, tu80, Tu80, t60
• Display of further characteristic values such as ΔT5, T10, t40 and the R-value (classification of the firing rate according to Schiele, Berens) as well as the maximum conversion rate
• Representation of the characteristic values in the wet extinguishing curve diagram
• Saving (as an image file) and printing the recorded measurement curves
• Print preview with numerous export formats
• Integrated measurement data management (management and search of measurements and samples)
• Central master data maintenance
• Configuration of measurement cycles, drivers, interfaces
• Integrated device driver for Testo 735 measuring instrument (via USB); other drivers on request
• Calibration of the sensors via two points
• Testing the heat loss of the Dewar vessels by determining the water value
• File-based CSV interfaces for transferring (importing) existing raw data and for forwarding (exporting) intermediate and final results
• Sample naming and storage in local Windows SQL Server Express Edition database
• Optional connection to laboratory information systems (LIS/LIMS) possible on request
