Selection Grid.
The
DEA 230/2 is a high-performance dielectric measurement system
designed for both laboratory dielectric analysis of polymers
and in-process cure monitoring of thermosets. It features
frequency sweeping from 0.001 Hz to 100 kHz for the characterization
of a wide range of polymers. The DEA 230/2 utilizes the full
range of Micromet's dielectric sensors including the patented
Low Conductivity Integrated Circuit Sensor (Chip sensor)
for highly accurate measurements of both loss factor and
permittivity and for measuring conductivity values as low
as 10-16 siemens/cm. Two dielectric sensors can be monitored
simultaneously.
Main applications
include research and development of resins, composites,
paints, coatings, oils, and lubricants.
The DEA 230/10
is a ten channel, fully integrated dielectric measurement
system containing the same high quality electronics as our
System III Microdielectrometer that is widely used throughout
the world. The DEA 230/10 is compatible with all Netzsch
dielectric sensors except the Low Conductivity Integrated
Circuit Sensor. Each channel monitors both dielectric and
temperature data and frequency sweeping capability enables
the full cure profile to be obtained in a single experiment.
Sensors and controlling computer interface cables are plugged
directly into the rear of the 230/10 which makes this integrated
design ideal for factory floor use. Ten channels allow multiple
samples, multiple locations, multiple parts, or multiple
processes to be monitored.
Main applications include process development,
monitoring, and control of composites,
coatings, electronic materials, and more.
The DEA 230/1 is
a complete, low cost, portable, single channel dielectric
measurement system. When controlled through RS-232 communications,
the system will measure and calculate a full range of dielectric
parameters, including loss factor, permittivity, conductivity,
ion viscosity, and temperature. Standard Micromet Software
packages may be used to control the DEA 230/1 or software
may be supplied by the user. Alternatively, the system will
output 0-5 Volt signals proportional to AC resistance, capacitance,
and temperature. Available frequencies are 0.1, 1, 10, 100,
1000 and 10000 Hz.
Main applications include QA/QC, process
development, monitoring and control of
composites, paints, and coatings.
The DEA 231/1 Cure
Analyzer is a low cost dielectric cure monitoring system
designed for applications where high measurement speed at
only a single sensor location is required. The DEA 231/1
can measure at frequencies of 10, 100, 1000, and 10000 Hz
at a maximum sampling rate of 55 milliseconds and can also
accept inputs from a thermocouple, pressure sensor, and LVDT.
The 231/1 communicates over the parallel port with a controlling
computer running the ICAM Software for Windows95/98/NT.
Main applications include QA/QC, research,
and process development, monitoring, and
control of fast curing thermosetting resin
systems such as SMC, BMC, other molding
compounds and UV curing materials.
The MPS 235 is
a portable, pneumatic benchtop compression press that is
operated by compressed air, (110 psi max.). The MPS 235 is
available in 200oC or 400oC maximum
temperature limit versions and is fully programmable for
multiple ramps rates as well as individual platen temperature
control. The press provides up to 2,000 lbs. clamping force
over the 4" x 8" platen area. This simple to use
press can be used with our dielectric instrumentation as
a research and development press or to provide a turnkey
quality control test station; or it can be used as a stand
alone press for light molding applications.
NETZSCH offers
precision thermal analysis instruments including advanced dilatometers (with
a new basic R&D/QC dilatometer),
classical DSC & TGA (with
a new economical DSC), high temperature DSC
to 1650°C for specific heat, very high temperature STA
(TGA-DSC/DTA) to 2400°C (featuring the new STA
409-PC Luxx®), thermal
/ evolved gas analysis with fully-integrated FTIR & MS, plus
high resolution TMA and DMA.
We also feature leading technology for thermal conductivity and diffusivity measurement
as well as refractories testing including HMOR, CIC, and RUL.
