The measured temperature and pressure rate data can be directly applied to full-scale industrial processes.
The new ARSST calorimeter control software keeps the best of the original ARSST but adds a number of significant improvements.
* A test summary file is automatically generated and can be updated throughout the test, providing an electronic record of test setup parameters, operator actions and final conditions.
* Seven preset test modes make test setup a snap, and test parameters can be modified during a run.
* Data acquisition frequency exceeds 500 points/second for improved resolution of rapid temperature or pressure events.
* Temperature measurement range is expanded from -50C to 700C.
* The software is available with closed-cell and high phi-factor testing options and is compatible with PCI architecture.
The standard hardware configuration consists of a personal computer with ARSST software and A/D card, an electronics control cabinet and a safety containment vessel with test cell.
Optional equipment includes a flow regime detector, dual thermocouples, high pressure vessel, and closed cell testing kit.
The complete ARSST system costing circa $25,000 US is immediately available with delivery guaranteed within 2-4 weeks upon receipt of an order.
Current users of the older RSST system can upgrade to the newer ARSST system by simply purchasing new control software, a control box and A/D card.
