A Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is a machine of multiple utility. Its name "universal" comes from the fact that testing standards, parts and hardware can be varied to suit various testing purooses such as but not limited to compressive strength, tensile ability, peeling strength and even load failure simulation. The current laboratory set up has jigs available for peeling, compression and tension- all of which are necessary for foam testing using appropriate testing methods.
Viscometer is an instrument used to measure viscosity of liquids under rheological conditions following Newton's Law of Viscosity. Changes in Viscosity could indicate a lot of chemical and physical changes in the behavior of a fluid like polymerization and some reactions determinant to the science of polymers.
An insulating material is a material with low thermal conductivity, which in the construction industry, equipment manufacturing, or the production of refrigerators, freezers, etc. is used for thermal insulation.
The robust system design and the unique “zero maintenance” peltier heating and cooling cycle ensure a minimum of upholding cost.
The double heat flux sensor configuration ensures shortest possible measurement cycles. A typical measurement for most samples can take as little as 15 minutes until the temperature stabilizes.
The instrument has a built in Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) offering automated highest precision sample thickness determination. Two heat flux sensor then measures the heat flow which is precisely defined between the hot and cold plate.
High temperature reactions with accompanying high pressures ranging up to 200 bars has never been that reliant and safe with the use this full proofed and highly sophisticated Parr Reactor used for almost any non-corrosive biomass- with all the safety features and functions such as gas purging in a closed vessel and a number of catalytic reactions causing high pressures.
