Fusible links5249883
Fusible links are temperature sensitive release mechanisms developed to be component of a selection of fire protection systems. The method 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, thus 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 goods we supply comply with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., Factory Mutual Research Corporation and NFPA Specifications. With fusing temperatures from 135° F to 500° F and all industry regular load ratings.
High quality MANAGEMENT Method
On September 29, 1999 Globe Technologies Corporation accomplished its objective of ISO 9001 registration from Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. This registration solidifies their commitment to you, the customer, to manufacture the highest quality fusible links and plugs with exceptional customer service.
The Globe Technologies facility has been registered by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. to the International Organization for Standardization ISO 9000 Series Standards for high quality.
Which link?
Globe links have been specified as original equipment in fire dampers, fire doors, vents and fire suppression systems for over 30 years. You can be assured that Globe products can be used safely as replacements for failed links, or during routine service, provided that the crucial elements of: a) temperature and b) load rating are adhered to.
Verify 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 make sure that the link will not be impacted by the circumstances to which it is exposed. The table beneath provides particulars of the recommended link ratings for different ambient temperatures.
The link requirements to be held under longitudinal tension to operate correctly. The minimum and maximum operating tension of all Globe links can be discovered within the technical specification page of every 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 damage the link in any way. Globe models JS and GS, are supplied as standard with Clover Hooks to safely extend their operating length.
