Thermal Properties

Advanced climatic cabinets 10-D1429/B, 10-D1429/D

Changes in temperature in aggregates cause expansion and cracking in the mixture they belong to. Intense heat produces physical and chemical deterioration. It also dissolves the mineralogy of the aggregate, potentially generating new unwanted chemical compounds. Our equipment such as the multi-purpose climatic chamber (for all construction materials) will help you determine the resistance of aggregates to freezing and thawing. In this section, you will also find lab equipment that assess how aggregates affect the shrinkage of concrete due to drying.

Advanced Climatic Cabinets

Two versions of this advanced thermal chamber are available.

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.
Control unit
The front panel includes a large colour 7” touch screen display allowing: Manual control of the cabinet (setpoints, temperature rate, etc.) Easy programming of the thermal cycles (edit and perform of thermal cycles), even with delayed test start 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. All models allow easy data export, through industrial USB port, on the internal 512 MBytes memory including temperature and humidity values and implemented thermal cycles.
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.
Humidity sensor
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.
Energy efficient — Heat loss is reduced by 30% thanks to a high density polyurethane insulation (42 kg/m3), CFC-free and 90mm thick (instead of the usual 60 mm).
Flexible — up to three movable temperature sensors (two optional) can be positioned inside the cabinet or placed in the sample to meet Standards’ requirements. One fixed also included as standard.
Standards compliant — temperature, humidity and time are all recorded in accordance with Standards.
High accuracy — ±1°C, ±5%RH (RH with 10-D1429/D models only). Intuitive interface — with a large and easy-to-use 7” color touchscreen display.
