Features of PMA 4 SC

Benefits at a Glance

  • A sample changer carrousel to provide up to 12 samples
  • Integrated fire-extinguishing system automatically controlled or manually released (requires N2 or CO2 gas)
  • The patented One-Twist swivel-around multi-function head guarantees the safe and easy one-hand connection of all sensors and actuators such as the shutter release, stirrer, igniter and detector contacts
  • A multi-detector combines the flash point detector and the temperature probe in a solid housing with a perfectly adjusted immersion depth

Convenient Operation

  • Real-time measurement indication by FPPNet-software
  • PC-software FPPNet is included. It is a control and analysis program that simplifies handling, data storage and program transfer. It provides online display of sample and heater block temperature, gradient (also in an XY-diagram) and test status
  • Due to the optimized re-cooling time a rationalization of up to 50 % becomes possible

Customized User Flexibility
