Description
This dilatometer is a very unique instrument,
which was developed for customers in the ceramics
automotive industry. These
customers have to make a lot of quality control
measurements in order to ensure ISO9000 standards.
Especially companies manufacturing catalytic
converter base ceramics for car exhaust systems
are very interested.
The Quattro Dilatometer is
built up with four separate dilatometer measuring
sensors, which can measure simultaneously
either four separate samples at one time,
or three separate samples against a NIST reference.
That means, the productivity
of the Quattro Dilatometer is three times
as high, if compared to the normally used
dual push rod dilatometers. With a dual push
rod dilatometer only one sample can be measured
against the standard at each time.
There is another feature included
in this Quattro Dilatometer, which is called
an automatic furnace lift mechanism. This
feature automatically lifts the furnace at
the end of each measurement without any operator
interaction.
This way the measuring system
is already cool when the operator comes to
change the samples. This again increases the
productivity of the system.
Another interesting part of
this system is the possibility to include
a closed circuit water cooler L75/WCU. Using
this closed loop water cooler, there is no
need to waste cooling water from the water
outlet.
The water cooling unit has the capacity to
handle up to 8 furnaces for water cooling.
The Quattro Dilatometer uses
a newly developed amplifier with automatic
zero setting for all four samples. Also there
is a unique system included with a “manual
push rod speed release” for each sample.
With this feature all four samples can easily
be changed and seated correctly for high accuracy
measurements.
The 32 bit software was further
developed to be able to program the parameters
for four samples on one screen. For each sample
different sample length, file name etc can
be stored, and are available for later evaluation.
The temperature programming
is done through a extensive program part,
for several stages, dwell times, heat up speeds
etc. A software macro is supplied with automatic
evaluation, to ensure that ready measuring
data are available without time delay.
We are proud to say that as
far as we know Linseis is the only supplier
