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
- Application-based amount of test inserts (optional)
- Standard brass test inserts (optional)
