3C Superior Signal Smoke Candles produce large quantities of dense, white smoke for tracing air flow patterns and leak-testing. Ignite smoke candles with a match or lighter. They produce no flame, only 40,000 cubic feet of smoke by a thermogenic chemical reaction over an approcimate 3 minute burn time.

Leak Detection: Smoke from a Superior 3C Smoke Candle is highly visible, blending readily with air and gases. While a burning smoke candle is hot, the resulting smoke is cool and non-combustible Invisible air leaks are easily detecable when Superior Smoke is added. To detect leaks in small- or medium- sized enclosures--such as furnaces, tanks, piping systems, sewer lines and ductwork--use enough smoke to fill a volume at least 2-3 times greater than that being tested.
Air-Flow Studies: Superior 3C 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 3C Smoke Candles photographs from white to dark gray, depending on smoke density and lighting.
Semi Trailer and Cargo Container leak tests: Smoke from one 3C smoke candle generously fills a 40 ft container from top to bottom and front to back. Clearly shows rust holes, popped seams and welds, leaks around doors and hinges. One to two 3C smoke candles are recommended for semi trailers.
Caution: The smoke emitted from Superior 3C Smoke Candles is non-toxic, but can irritate breathing passages when respiratory protection is not used.
