Fusible links2029065
Fusible links are temperature sensitive release mechanisms developed to be part of a selection of fire protection systems. The system is activated when the ambient temperature increases to the point that causes the eutectic alloy in the fusible link to melt and release the pre-loaded fire protection device, therefore restricting the spread of fire or smoke, or release pressurised gas or liquid. The melting point of the alloy can be engineered to release at temperatures ranging from 135F/57C to 500F/260C. The products we provide comply with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., Factory Mutual Study Corporation and NFPA Requirements. With fusing temperatures from 135° F to 500° F and all business standard load ratings.
High quality MANAGEMENT Method
On September 29, 1999 Globe Technologies Corporation accomplished its goal of ISO 9001 registration from Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. This registration solidifies their commitment to you, the customer, to manufacture the highest high quality fusible links and plugs with exceptional consumer service.
The Globe Technologies facility has been registered by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. to the International Organization for Standardization ISO 9000 Series Standards for quality.
Which link?
Globe links have been specified as original gear in fire dampers, fire doors, vents and fire suppression systems for over 30 years. You can be assured that Globe goods can be used safely as replacements for failed links, or throughout routine service, provided that the crucial factors of: a) temperature and b) load rating are adhered to.
Check the temperature rating of the link you are replacing this will have been specified by the system engineers to offer a appropriate release temperature but also to ensure that the link will not be affected by the circumstances to which it is exposed. The table beneath provides details of the suggested link ratings for different ambient temperatures.
The link needs to be held below longitudinal tension to operate correctly. The minimum and maximum operating tension of all Globe links can be found inside the technical specification page of each link. The length of a link can be safely extended by means of a mechanical attachment, supplied that the tension on the link continues to be applied along its length and that the attachment does not harm the link in any way. Globe models JS and GS, are supplied as regular with Clover Hooks to safely extend their operating length.
