Transition of Radiant Panels to Power Modules, Inc. for FAA Acoustic Testing

Recently, Watlow has ceased production of Radiant Panels used in Thermal/Acoustical Insulation testing. Power Modules, Inc. (PMI) will now manufacture and sell these panels, sourcing emitter strips and casings from Watlow. The FAA will work closely with PMI to ensure all specifications are met. The first panel from PMI is anticipated soon, with representatives visiting the Technical Center at the end of March. Additionally, discrepancies have been noted in lab testing results, possibly due to variations in gas type and burner specifications.

  4. We received an e-mail pertaining to one lab passing a sample while another lab failed the same sample. Possible differences: Gas (99% CP Methane vs. a different gas) Diffusion flame vs. Premixed flame Burner Orifice Size If you run Bunsen Burner testing, please measure the diameter of the burner’s orifice and e-mail it to me (Patricia.Cahill@faa.gov) Side Note: Vertical Bunsen Burner
