CETUK Laboratory Equipment

Multi-head high temperature calorimeter

• Drop calorimetry or DSC to measure heat capacity, heat content, or heat of dissolution and formation
• Automated sample charger for multiple successive drops
• High temperature (up to 1500°C) measurements by [isothermal] drop calorimetry for accurate heat capacity, and heat content measurements
• High temperature (up to 1600°C) measurements by heat flux DSC (temperature scanning conditions) for accurate heat capacity and heat of transitions measurements
• Specification
