Process Safety and Thermal Stability Testing
 


Process Safety and Thermal Stability Testing

Reaction Calorimeter (RC1)

Both kinetic and thermodynamic reaction data under specific processing conditions are obtained with the Reaction Calorimeter. Quantity and rate of heat from chemical reactions can be measured here.

Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC)

Thermal stability data can be obtained with the Differential Scanning Calorimeter. This instrument generates both kinetic and thermodynamic data for undesired reactions under worst case conditions.

Accelerating Rate Calorimeter (ARC®)

The Accelerating Rate Calorimeter is used to measure thermal stability indices. This instrument simulates thermal runaway conditions that might occur in a plant reactor due to loss of heat transfer. It is used to obtain maximum rate data.

ASTM E681-94 5L Sphere

An ASTM E681-94 5L Sphere is used to determine the lower and upper limits of flammability of gases and vapors at temperatures of up to 150°C.
