Hexindo temperature tests completed.

Test Results. Hexindo staff carried out a series of temperature tests on the IndyKote ceramic coated manifolds fitted to one of KPC's Hitachi hydraulic excavators located at Sangatta in East Kalimantan. The excavator had been operating for several hours so engine and manifold temperatures were at normal working temperature. The engines were taken to full load and an infra-red temperature gun was directed at No:2 exhaust manifold for a period of 2 minutes from a distance of 1 metre.

Result: Exhaust manifold surface temperature of 200 Deg C was recorded for the 2 minute period on the ceramic coated manifolds. This is BELOW the flash point of hydraulic oil of 214 Deg C.

Should a hydraulic hose burst and spray oil on the ceramic coated manifolds, there will be no ignition of the oil at this temperature. The result would be simply smoke, but no fire.
