Boiler Resistance Tests
Boilers must be hygienic and meet certain standards as water heaters providing hot water for domestic use. It is very important to test the corrosion processes of the surfaces in contact with water
.The most important of these tests are the citric acid resistance test, boiling water and steam resistance test.
Boiler Citric Acid Resistance Test
In the boiler tests applied according to European Standards, a 10% citric acid solution is used. The citric acid solution is applied to the enamel surface for fifteen minutes, and the acid resistance is determined according to the deformation it causes on the enamel.
The citric acid test of MIT Boilers is carried out according to ISO 2722 standards. In MIT Boiler enamel tests, the citric acid solution is applied to the surface for a long period of 20 minutes. All MIT Boilers are produced to be in the highest level of AA class that can be achieved as a result of this test.
Boiler Boiling Water and Steam Resistance Test
The test piece is subjected to a 48-hour boiling water and steam test. At the end of this process, the enamel on the test piece decreases slightly. According to European Standards, the highest acceptable amount is 3.5gr/m². However, in MIT Boiler products, this amount is only 2gr/m².
Boiler Sheet Quality
In MIT Boilers, suitable low carbon hot rolled sheet, which is suitable for cold forming according to Ereğli TRKK 6222 standard, is used. This sheet is resistant to aging, suitable for welding, has deep drawability properties, and is suitable for enamel coating used in single/double layer or single/double firing. In addition, S355J2 (ST 52-3) sheet is used in hot dip galvanized accumulation tanks.
