Features
- Fully automatic softening point determination. The apparatus automatically applies the temperature gradient and detects the specimen position with light barriers, recording the softening point.
- 7’’ colour touchscreen display, with multiple preset and custom testing procedures, allowing real-time display of the temperature / time graph on display or PC (with optional software).
- Inbuilt cooling fan, automatically enabled at the end of the test, to reduce the beaker cooling time.
- Removable transparent front cover, protecting the operator from accidental hot water or glycerol splashing or accidental contact with the hot beaker and plate.
- PT100 probe holder and drip tray for specimen holder, complete with handle, improving beaker positioning operations.
- Possibility to perform user-defined tests with maximum temperature up to 250°C.
