Malcom Company's portable, battery powered heat gun kit,
the MCH-100-A, has
passed the Mil-Std 810F (511.4) Explosive Atmosphere test, which
specifies
using n-hexane fuel. It also passed test conditions where JP-5
was
substituted for the n-hexane fuel. These test results were critical
objectives for incorporating the MCH-100-A as an approved tool
into the Navy's maintenance procedures for doing wiring repairs on fueled aircraft.
The test was performed at The Dayton
Brown Engineering and Test Division in Bohemia, NY at sea
level with temperatures as high as 130 degrees F inside
the test chamber. The heat gun was subjected to various levels of N-Hexane
and JP-5 jet fuel ranging from a AVR from 5:1 to 25:1 and the MCH-100-A
did not ignite the vapors in test chamber atmosphere.
The MCH-100-A is commonly used for installing heat shrinkable tubing, soldering
and plastic works applications in remote locations. The MCH-100-A eliminates
the needs for power generators, propane and open flame, the Malcom MCH-100-A
Portable Battery Powered Heat Gun features interchangeable heating elements
from 200 to 400 Watts, able to reach temperatures of 1100 degrees F, the
heat gun has a built-in motor with a fan to provide 2.66 CFM air flow, and
has available
many different hot air nozzles for most applications.
