FTM 3462 Coker Panel

Test specimens (called coker panels) used for the FTM 3462 Coking Tendency of Oil test. The test measures the tendency of oils to form coke deposits on metal surfaces at high temperatures. Metaspec coker panels are compatible with test instruments from Koehler, Falex, and others.
 
Each coker panel has one or more holes drilled into the edge for use with thermocouples to monitor temperatures during testing. Metaspec makes several standard variations of coker panel:
Aluminum coker panel with two 1/8" diameter holes 1.25" deep, drilled at 11.5° angle centered on the long edge ("V" configuration)
Steel coker panel with two 1/8" diameter holes 1.25" deep, 0.450" apart, drilled straight in 
Aluminum or steel coker panel with one 0.068" diameter hole 3/4" deep, drilled at 15° angle
 
Coker panels can be made from a range of alloys, including aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. The test specimen dimensions and surface finish can vary depending on the final application or test modifications. Contact us to discuss making modified or custom coker panels.
