Laboratory Equipment
Advanced Climatic Cabinets
Two versions of this advanced thermal chamber are available.
Standards EN 196-1 EN 1367-1
Advanced climatic cabinets 10-D1429/B, 10-D1429/D
Description
These Advanced Climatic Cabinets have been designed to be user-friendly, intuitive and above all highly accurate.
Fitted with a new and improved thermoregulator, the intuitive interface features a 7” touchscreen color display that makes it easy to programme freezing and thawing cycles.
All models can record temperature, humidity (when applicable) and time measurements in full compliance with all the relevant Standards.
Version with temperature and humidity control is capable of generating 95% humidity with accuracy and reliability, making it also a perfect solution for cement specimen curing
Cabinet
Constructed from monobloc stainless steel, the cabinet has four shelves supported on stainless steel guides capable of holding heavy specimens. All internal angles have been rounded for easy cleaning. The cooling system and control unit are in the top of the cabinet for easy inspection and maintenance.
Insulation with high density (42 kg/m3) polyurethane 90mm thick is CFC free and reduces heat loss by 30% compared to similar having 60 mm thickness.
Thermostatic unit
Air circulation is ensured by two fans for optimum uniformity conditions in the chamber. Cooling is obtained by direct evaporation of CFC free refrigerant gas by evaporator, while heating is achieved by resistances. The de-humidification is controlled by a smooth tube evaporator, while the humidity control is based on pressure steam boiler and ensures humidity values above 95% to saturation.
Control unit
The front panel includes a large colour 7” touch screen display allowing:

- Data acquisition and recording of humidity, temperature and times values at sampling rate of 1 samples/minute.
- Simultaneous display of set points and absolute output values, both in numerical and graphical format.
Temperature sensor
Two channels for PT100 temperature sensors (included) one movable inside the cabinet area (or positioned in the sample) and one fixed measuring chamber temperature.
Two additional PT 100 sensors can be added on request. See Upgrading options.
Allows measurements of humidity up to RH 100%
Two versions of this advanced thermal chamber are available:
- 10-D1429/B: temperature controlled from -30 to 70°C, for testing aggregates conforming to EN 1367-1 and other similar tests on concrete and other construction materials;
- 10-D1429/D: temperature and humidity controlled respectively from -30 to 70°C and from 20 to ≥95% humidity, for aggregates and various other tests as for instance concrete and cement specimen curing (EN 196-1).
For the determination of resistance to freezing and thawing of aggregates the accessory 48-D0457, should be used. See accessories.
Main Features
- High performing — Advanced controller with storage of 100 temperature and humidity cycle programs, each one with up to 64 segments.

Water bath for Penetration Tests
Specifically designed for penetration tests of bituminous materials.
86-D1800 to 86-D1809
Description
This water bath is specifically designed for penetration tests of bituminous materials.
It includes heating elements whose effect is compensated by a cooling coil that can be connected to mains water, with minimum water consumption.
The digital thermoregulator, with 0.1°C accuracy, features a PT100 immersion probe which can be placed close to the test specimen or anywhere inside the bath.
This grants a highly accurate PID control, overcoming traditional systems in which the temperature is measured in an external water chiller, therefore not representing the real bath temperature.
Penetration tests are typically performed at 25°C, however special test conditions may occur, in which case the cooling coil can be connected to an external chiller (see accessories) for bath temperatures down to 5°C ± 0.1 °C.
The chiller is also useful in cases of very hot environments in which mains water temperature is higher than 25°C.
