Used INSTRUMENTATION SPECIALIST 1600 DTA #135313 for sale

INSTRUMENTATION SPECIALIST 1600 DTA is a versatile and reliable lab instrument used to measure the thermal properties of a variety of materials. The device is commonly used in many industrial laboratories, research and teaching labs, and analytical laboratories. The instrument incorporates a ceramic-ceramic sample holder, automatically-controlled temperature equipment, and a microprocessor-controlled user interface that provide exceptional performance and accuracy. 1600 DTA uses a Curie-Point (temperature) method to measure the thermal properties of solids. The instrument uses the temperature-induced changes in sample characteristics to accurately annunciate specific thermal properties such as the melting point, glass transition temperature, and crystallization temperature. It also performs thermal cycling on sample materials to determine the thermal conductivity and thermal expansion. To measure the characteristics of a sample, the user simply places a sample in the ceramic-ceramic sample holder, sets the applicable parameters, and starts the measurement cycle. The instrument utilizes a powerful auto-controlling system and an energy-efficient heating unit to heat the sample until the necessary temperatures are achieved. The internal microprocessor is programmed to constantly monitor the heating process and accurately measure the required thermal properties. Equipped with a user-friendly graphical display, INSTRUMENTATION SPECIALIST 1600 DTA allows the operator to program critical thermal parameters, apply test data in real-time, view test results, and reset the machine. The graphical display also includes a Help Menu that provides detailed instructions and troubleshooting tips. 1600 DTA is supported by a comprehensive set of accessories including two ceramic-ceramic sample holders, two ceramic-aluminum sample holders for rigid materials and powders, two sample pan attachments for powders, and an optional probe-head attachment for liquids. An optional thermal printer is also available that allows the instrument to print all measured thermal properties onto a standard 8.5" x 11" paper in real-time. INSTRUMENTATION SPECIALIST 1600 DTA provides exceptional performance and accuracy. The cost of the tool includes a temperature controller, ceramic-ceramic sample holder, power cord, and 5 sample pan attachments. This robust and reliable instrument is the perfect choice for thermal property measurements.
