Kinetica provides a commercial testing service for
temperature programmed, isothermal, and solution calorimetry
using a Setaram C80 calorimeter. The calorimeter is operable
from ambient to 300 °C. Applications include process
development, quality assurance, and process safety.
The C80 calorimeter accommodates a variety of
tests including those requiring high pressure, circulation, and
membrane mixing cell capability. The tabular insert documents
available cells for particular testing applications.
C80
Cell
Application
High Pressure
Aging of explosives ,
pyrotechnics, energetic materials, gas adsorption, heats
of reaction, heat capacities of solids
Circulation
Titration calorimetry,
catalyst evaluations, volumetric heat capacity of liquids
Membrane Mixing
Compatibility, heat of mixing,
dissolution, wetting characteristics, heat of reaction, heat of polymerization
The membrane
mixing cell is well suited for evaluating compatibility and heat
effects for two component systems. Heats of mixing and
dissolution are monitored by placing a solid in the lower container,
a liquid is placed in the upper chamber above the membrane.
When the membrane is broken the total heat composed of the heat of
mixing, heat of solution, and heat of reaction are measured
with the calorimeter. Please contact Kinetica to discuss
specific applications of interest.
