Robust and Reliable Material ChamberConstructed with SS 316L stainless steel, the material chamber is engineered for superior corrosion resistance and exceptional durability, ensuring longevity even under high-pressure and variable humidity conditions. This makes the autoclave ideal for repetitive and long-term experimental workflows common in gas hydrate research laboratories.
Advanced Safety and Precision EngineeringEquipped with an integrated automatic pressure relief valve and a double O-ring seal for leak-proof operation, the autoclave prioritizes safety and accurate measurements. The digital PID controller manages all experimental parameters, delivering 0.5% F.S. accuracy, while a rapid response time of under 1 second ensures prompt feedback during critical testing phases.
Flexible Control and Data ManagementThe device supports both internal and external data storage, compatible with Windows-based control software, making it easy to manage experimental results. USB and RS-232 interfaces provide convenient data transfer and remote monitoring capabilities, streamlining data acquisition and analysis for laboratory technicians.
FAQs of Gas Hydrate Autoclaves:
Q: How does the Gas Hydrate Autoclave ensure operator safety during high-pressure experiments?
A: Operator safety is maintained through its integrated automatic pressure relief valve and double O-ring leak-proof sealing system, which prevent overpressure and eliminate the risk of gas leaks during high-pressure testing.
Q: What is the process for controlling and monitoring experiments using this autoclave?
A: The autoclave features a digital PID controller for precise parameter management, digital LCD display for real-time monitoring, and Windows-based software for comprehensive control and data acquisition. Settings such as temperature, pressure, and stirring speed are adjustable via the digital interface.
Q: When should external cooling be used, and what options are available?
A: External cooling, available through an optional water circulation jacket, is recommended when experiments involve exothermic reactions or require precise thermal management to maintain the chambers set temperature within the -20C to +80C range.
Q: Where can the Gas Hydrate Autoclave be installed within a laboratory?
A: With its bench/desktop mounting design and compact dimensions (max height 530 mm, weight 80 kg), the autoclave can be conveniently placed on standard laboratory benches, making it suitable for most research environments.
Q: What specimens and sample sizes can be tested with this equipment?
A: The autoclave is capable of handling up to three specimens simultaneously, with customizable specimen size to fit specific research requirements. The test chamber supports a capacity of 1 to 5 liters, accommodating diverse experimental setups.
Q: How does automated data acquisition benefit laboratory researchers?
A: Automated data acquisition helps users collect, store, and transfer experimental data efficiently. This reduces manual recording errors, ensures high data accuracy, and streamlines result analysis thanks to internal/external memory options and compatibility with USB and RS-232 interfaces.
