At AGS Systems, we pride ourselves on our commitment to quality and innovation. As part of our continuous efforts to ensure the highest standards in our products, we recently collaborated with the Warsaw University of Technology to conduct a comprehensive thermal conductivity test. This test was specifically designed to determine the heat conductivity coefficient of our 2.5 mm-thick brackets made of GD 350 steel with a Magnelis® ZM430 zinc coating. These brackets are integral components of the ventilated facades we manufacture.
Thermal conductivity is a measure of a material’s ability to conduct heat. In the construction industry, understanding the thermal properties of materials is crucial. It helps in ensuring that buildings remain energy-efficient, comfortable, and safe. By optimising the thermal properties of our products, we aim to provide our clients with solutions that not only meet but exceed industry standards.
The test focused on evaluating the heat conductivity coefficient of our brackets. The specifics of the test are as follows:
Our findings from the test series are tabulated below:
Bracket Dimensions | Mean Value from Test Series (W/m*K) |
---|---|
170x50x70 | 3.906 |
210x50x70 | 3.537 |
170x50x130 | 6.615 |
170x50x130 | 6.422 |
The results from our tests were enlightening:
Average Conductivity Coefficient: Our 2.5 mm thick bracket made of GD 350 steel, with Magnelis® ZM 430 zinc coating, showcased impressive thermal properties. The openwork profile structure of our brackets effectively extends the heat path, resulting in a low heat conductivity coefficient.
Resistance to Corrosion: Our tests also evaluated the resistance of the ZM430 zinc-magnesium coating against corrosion. The findings were promising:
At AGS Systems, we believe in transparency and credibility. Our products undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet the highest industry standards. The results of our thermal conductivity tests have been certified, providing an added layer of assurance to our clients.
