CAST – Combustion Aerosol Standard

Competence in generating soot particles to suit your needs.

ISO 12103-3 conform

ISO 12103-3 Norm is based on the CAST principle, which was invented by Dr. Lianpeng Jing during his scientific research activities at the Swiss Federal Office of Metrology. The Model 7300, with its sophisticated burner design, has achieved high soot output while maintaining low cleaning intensity and ease of handling when necessary.

Available models: 7300C (S: single burner, T: Twin burner)

HiMass CAST Features

  • Unique flame design achieving efficient soot production and extrem low fuel consumption
  • Up to 15 (single burner) and 30 g/h (twin-burner) soot mass output
  • Mean particle size adjustable between 20 and 300 nm
  • Total flow rate of undiluted exhaust gas: 500 l/min, additional dilution possible
  • Mass flow control with quick reaction time and high stability 
  • Free for open and sealed system, typically up to 50 mbar / 250 mbar and higher on request.
  • Fuel: propane
  • Remote automatic internal ignition
  • Flame detection and gas alarm for safe operation
  • Sight control of the flame
  • Automatic stop and both physical and remote red button for emergency stop of total system
  • Slim design with 1 m and 0.5 m2 (H x S)
  • Extentable burner platform for testing equipment
  • Height of particle outlet: 45 cm
  • Excellent stability and repeatability
