In Indonesia, fire safety requirement in building in
Indonesia prerequisite that a building structure must able to resist
fire at a certain time, which is represented by fire resistance rating.
As the only one fire laboratory in Indonesia, furnaces in the
laboratory are quite old and operated manually both in
monitoring and controlling. This study aims to develop a
monitoring system of temperatures of furnace and unexposed
surface of specimen test for the fire resistance test. The developed
system consists of three main parts: hardware, electronics, and
software. The hardware system included sensors thermocouple
type K and LM35, power supply, and a case-box. Electronics
system used Arduino Mega 2560 as main microcontroller and
other components such as MAX 6675, etc. Software system
managed data communication between the furnace and human
through graphical user interface (GUI). Writing code in Arduino
was carried out using Arduino IDE while GUI was developed
using Microsoft Visual Studio. The results demonstrated that the
developed system was able to measure and read the temperature
of both the furnace and specimen test in real time. The both
measurement results could be monitored through graphical user
interface (GUI), including the average values of both results. The
acquisitioned data were able to convert into excel file (.xls) and
stored them into memory card. Nevertheless, further development
is required particularly to control the fire in furnace
automatically. |
