Our CSA-authorized inspection lab is equipped with state-of-the-art instruments and tools to conduct rigorous tests on our patio and hearth products.
We check for compliance with CSA standards on aspects such as gas chromatography, wet gas flow, vertical temperature field, flue gas, rain test, tilt test, and wind resistance.
We also perform regular audits and quality checks to ensure our lab meets the highest standards of accuracy and reliability.
A CSA-authorized inspection lab at our facility demonstrates our dedication to quality and safety in every product we make.
Equipments and Inspection Technologies
Wonderfires CSA authorized inspection lab is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and tools to perform rigorous testing of our patio and fireplace products. We test every key index of our products before packing to guarantee the products you get are secure and long-lasting.
Gas Chromatography Analyzer
Gas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique that can separate and detect different gas mixture components based on their volatility and interaction with a column material.
Gas chromatography (GC) is a powerful technique that can separate and identify different components of a gas sample and measure their concentrations and properties.
With this information, it can help us to monitor and adjust our product to meet the quality standard on the below points:
- Adjust the fuel-air ratio for optimum combustion efficiency and reduce fuel consumption and carbon footprint.
- Ensure product quality and performance, prevent corrosion or contamination, detect leaks or malfunctions, etc.
- Help comply with environmental regulations on air quality standards.
Wet Gas Flowmeter
Wet gas flow measurement is essential for various applications in the patio & hearth industry, such as testing the performance and efficiency of gas-fired heaters, fireplaces, grills, etc., and controlling the quality and safety of gas supply and distribution.
The wet gas flow test can provide us the real-time data on the wet gas flow rate and composition without requiring samples or separation. Such data can help us to optimize the production process, improve our product quality and performance, and guarantee that our products comply with environmental regulations.
Vertical Temperature Field
Vertical Temperature Field (VTF) can be used to analyze and monitor the thermal performance and condition of various equipment and structures, such as fireplaces, heaters, fire pit tables, etc.
- VTF can help evaluate and improve the design and construction of chimneys and fireplaces. VTF can provide information on the draft and flow rate of flue gas by measuring the temperature gradient along the height of the chimney or fireplace. This can help ensure safety and compliance with building codes, reduce emissions and pollution, and enhance performance and aesthetics.
- VTF can help test and verify the quality and performance of heaters used for outdoor heating. By measuring the temperature variation along the vertical direction of a heater’s radiation zone, VTF can provide information on the heat output and distribution of infrared radiation. Such data can help ensure product quality and reliability.
Flue Gas Analyzer
A Flue gas analyzer is a device that can measure the concentrations of pollutants and combustion parameters (such as CO, O2, NOx, SO2, etc.) in flue gas emitted by various equipment and structures, such as blast furnaces, chimneys, fireplaces, heaters, etc.
- Optimize combustion efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and allow us to save costs, increase productivity and profitability, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Ensure safety and compliance with environmental regulations by monitoring flue gas emissions for harmful substances.
- It can help test and verify the quality and performance of products such as heaters or fireplaces and provide information on the heat output and distribution of infrared radiation.
Rain Test
CSA rain test is a test method that simulates rain exposure on outdoor products such as our outdoor fire pits and grills; it evaluates the product’s safety and performance under wet conditions and verifies its compliance with relevant standards and regulations.
- CSA rain test help ensure product safety and prevent hazards such as electric shock, fire, corrosion, etc., that may occur due to moisture accumulation or water ingress.
- CSA rain test help demonstrate product performance and reliability under various climates.
- CSA rain test helps us to gain the approval of North America and Canadian markets.
Tilt Table
A tilt table test is a simple and effective way to check if our products can withstand different angles and positions without tipping over or malfunctioning.
The tilt table test can identify potential risks to our product’s design, stability, or performance. For example, we can find whether there is a faulty thermocouple or tilt switch via this test.
This way, we could improve our product’s durability and customer satisfaction.
Wind Resistance
The wind resistance test is a method of simulating the effects of high winds on our outdoor products. It can measure their performance, durability, and safety under various wind conditions.
Such wind resistance tests help us to:
- Improve the design and functionality of our patio furniture products.
- Enhance the safety and comfort of our outdoor furniture products.
- Reduce the risk of product failures or damages.
