Elite Thermal Systems

Overview

The PF-12 plastometer is intended for measuring plasticity properties of coal heated under the conditions defined by the ASTM D 2639 – 08 and ISO 10329 standard. The outcomes of the test are plasticity nature of the coal.

The PF-12 plastometer is a fully automatic, compact, single furnace instrument. A single furnace with molten solder bath is equipped with sophisticated control system of heating range and heating rate to ensure the required accuracy level to meet the requirements of ASTM D-2639-08, ISO 10329. For quick cooling, the furnace has a built-in fan (allowing another test to be started shortly afterwards).

Standard Features

Temperature (deg C) and Fluidity (D.D.P.M) and Stirrer speed (RPM) are displayed at the end of each test.
Automatic crucible movement (up & down).
Built – in exhaust device.
The temperature measurement failure detection.
Cooling of the furnace by the fan analysis.
Automatic creation of *. csv files for statistical analysis.
