2B Superior Signal Smoke Candles produce large quantities of dense, white smoke for tracing air flow patterns and leak-testing. Start the 2B smoke candles with a match or lighter. They produce no flame, only 8000 cybic feet of smoke by a thermogenic chemical reaction over a 60 second burn time.

Leak Detection: Smoke from a 2B Superior Smoke Candle is highly visible, blending readily with air and gases. While a burning smoke candle is hot, the resulting smoke is cool and does not support combustion. Invisible leaks become readily detectable when Superior Smoke is added. To detect leaks in small- or medium- sized enclosures--such as furnaces, tanks, piping systems and ductwork--use enough smoke to fill a volume at least 2-3 times greater than that being tested.
Air-Flow Studies: Superior 2B Smoke Candles simplify the observation of flow patterns in all types of wind tunnels, air-moving equipment, and natural airflow, indoors or out. Generally, 1 part smoke to two parts air (volume:volume) provides readily viewable results. Balance HVAC system by observing the discharge of smoke from ducts and supply grilles.
Photography: Smoke from Superior 2B Smoke Candles photographs from white to dark gray, depending on smoke density and lighting. Dramatic color effects can be achieved by directing colored lights through thin concentrations of the smoke.
The Superior method of generating smoke by thermogenic chemical reaction eliminates costly equipment and time consuming operations in pinpointing leaks. Smoke tests effectively and inexpensively reveal leaks and other faults in heating and air conditioning duct work, furnaces, tanks, piping and sewerage/waste collection systems, semi trailers and shipping containers. Superior 2B Smoke Candles are ideal for observing air flow patterns, evaluating exhaust systems, photography, dislodging animals and triggering smoke alarms. Smoke varies in color from white to gray depending upon density and lighting. Superior Smoke Candles contain no explosive materials.
Caution: The smoke emitted from Superior 2B Smoke Candles is non-toxic, but can irritate breathing passages when respiratory protection is not used.
