Fusible links9524212
Fusible links are temperature sensitive release mechanisms designed to be component of a variety 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, 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 products we supply comply with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., Factory Mutual Study Corporation and NFPA Specifications. With fusing temperatures from 135° F to 500° F and all industry standard load ratings.
Quality MANAGEMENT System
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 high 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 Requirements for quality.
Which link?
Globe links have been specified as original equipment in fire dampers, fire doors, vents and fire suppression systems for more than 30 years. You can be assured that Globe goods can be utilized 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.
Check the temperature rating of the link you are replacing this will have been specified by the system engineers to offer a suitable release temperature but also to make sure that the link will not be affected by the conditions to which it is exposed. The table below offers particulars of the suggested link ratings for different ambient temperatures.
The link requirements to be held under longitudinal tension to operate properly. The minimum and maximum operating tension of all Globe links can be found inside the technical specification web page of each link. The length of a link can be safely extended by indicates of a mechanical attachment, provided 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.
