The Pascal 440 the highest-pressure model of the Pascal line and reaches its maximum pressure of 400 MPa in the same time as the Pascal 240 reaches its maximum of 200 MPa. The easy-to-use control panel with a liquid crystal display allows operating the unit even without a PC connected. The Pascal 440 incorporates a totally new pressurization system, developed to meet the sophisticated analytical requirements of laboratories working with modern materials.
Product Detail :
The Pascal 440 is not only the highest-pressure model of the line but it also offers the highest pressurization speed of the series. It reaches its maximum pressure of 400 MPa in the same time as the Pascal 240 reaches its maximum of 200 MPa. It is particularly suited for ceramics, sintered metals, very hard materials and, in general, for all the solids which have a porosity approaching the micropore region. Thanks to its unique pressurization speed, it is highly recommended in QC labs where short run times and productivity are the priority. It requires a sample preparation unit to degas the sample before the analysis and to fill the dilatometer with fresh mercury. The dilatometer preparation unit can be the Pascal 140 or a Duplex Dilatometer filling device.
Speed and resolution to match any requirement
The Pascal 440 incorporates a totally new pressurization system, developed to meet the sophisticated analytical requirements of laboratories working with modern materials. The pressurization system uses a reversible pump operating continuously and a new type of pressure multiplier. This permits a perfect control of the pressurization speed during the analysis. The key features of this system are the extremely high maximum speed of pressurization and the immediate acceleration or deceleration response according to the real mercury penetration speed in the sample porous matrix. At the maximum speed, the instrument can provide a penetration curve up to 400 MPa in about 9 minutes, permitting an incredible productivity in terms of analyses per hour, as required in quality control labs. The easy-to-use control panel with a liquid crystal display allows operating the unit even without a PC connected.
