Micro Carbon Residue and Ash Tester

Description

The Micro Conradson Carbon Residue and Ash Tester features a display screen that allows for friendly and easy use of the apparatus. All access to the calibration, maintenance, language selection, and safety parameters are achieved through the keyboard and protected by a password. A manometer located in the front of the instrument displays the admitted pressure and a flow meter reads the gas flow in the oven. Each solenoid valve can be either manually or automatically activated. The detailed test reports can be printed out in 40 or 80 columns or read on the display screen. Initial and final weights can be added to test reports and the carbon residue will automatically be calculated at the end of the test. The instrument provides a front access to a condensing pot for easy cleaning of all ducts between the oven, the pot, and the chimney using the supplied accessory.

The instrument is equipped with a RS232 connection for data transfer to a LIMS system. In addition, the ticket printer (delivered with the apparatus) can be connected to a parallel output.
