Temperature and Humidity Measurement

TC/LN2 for the TA.XTplus Texture Analyser

TCHD/LN2 for the TA.HDplus Texture Analyser

Thermal Cabinets with liquid nitrogen cooling and electric heating (-40°C to +180°C) solve the problems usually associated with the testing of hot and cold products such as molten cheese, ice cream, adhesives or waxes.

Samples can be allowed to equilibrate to the required temperature before testing is performed within the cabinet.

XT/HTM Humidity Temperature Module

This provides the facility to capture temperature and humidity data (sampled every 10 seconds) during a test.

The Hygroclip is a product designed according to ISO 9001 and meeting EN50082-2 EMC requirements. It has an operating range of 0-100%RH (relative humidity) and -30°C to 100°C. Accuracy at 23°C is ±2.5%RH and ±0.3°C.

XT/PR Temperature Probe

This PT100 thermocouple probe plugs into the PT100 connector on the Texture Analyser and gives direct measurement over the temperature range -50°C to 250°C.

Two probes can be connected via the PT100 ports to log data simultaneously from separate locations.

When used in conjunction with the TA.XTplus or TA.HDplus Texture Analyser, the Temperature Controlled Peltier Cabinet and Temperature Controlled Peltier Plate provide a highly stable and accurate testing environment for many products.

The Plate or Cabinet is coupled to a separate Peltier Control Unit (PCU) which can be conveniently located so that the required temperature is easily set and displayed or placed away from the Texture Analyser if space is at a premium.

XT/PP: Temperature Controlled Peltier Plate

The Peltier Plate provides a stable surface temperature for testing small or thin products such as pressure sensitive adhesives or films. This ensures that temperature effects are either minimised or are able to be accurately investigated.

The surface dimensions are 110mm x 100mm and maximum operating temperature is +80°C to a minimum of 30°C below ambient.

XT/PC: Temperature Controlled Peltier Cabinet

The Peltier Cabinet provides a temperature controlled environment using PID control with an operating range from +80°C to 20°C below ambient.

It is fixed directly to the base of the texture analyser via nylon insulating pillars that provide a thermal barrier from the instrument.

Samples can be allowed to equilibrate to the required temperature before testing is performed within the cabinet.

The Texture Analyser uses a range of different probes and attachments according to your specific application.

Whether you require a simple test and data analysis solution or a fully featured software package – we give you the choice.

If your product is temperature sensitive, we have a range of temperature monitoring and control options.

By attaching peripheral devices you can collect additional measurement parameters during your standard texture analysis test.

Find out how to increase your sample throughput, walk away time and testing efficiency with several automation options.

Our range of Texture Analyser accessories covers requirements for the use, maintenance and protection of your instrument.
