1A Superior Signal Smoke Candles produce large quantities of dense, white smoke for tracing air flow patterns and leak-testing. Start the 1A smoke candles with a match or lighter. They produce no flame, only 4000 cubic feet of smoke by a thermogenic chemical reaction over a 30 second burn time.

Leak Detection: Smoke from a 1A 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 1A 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.
Photography: Smoke from Superior 1A Smoke Candles photographs from white to dark gray, depending on smoke density and lighting.
Caution: The smoke emitted from Superior 1A Smoke Candles is non-toxic, but can irritate breathing passages when respiratory protection is not used.
