ARC® 305

The Accelerating Rate Calorimeter 305 (ARC® 305) provides adiabatic calorimetry data in a safe, controlled laboratory environment.

Infos / Datasheet

This information helps provide a sound understanding of the fundamental physical processes involved. From this understanding, various safe operating systems and procedures can be developed to mitigate the hazards posed by a reactive system.

The advanced ARC® 305 helps engineers and scientists identify potential hazards and tackle key elements of process optimization and thermal stability. As a highly versatile, miniature chemical reactor, sample can be stirred, material injected, and it can be used for vent studies. The ARC® 305 has been designed to use the traditional 10 ml ARC® spherical vessel but can also use the larger 130 ml vessel for low Phi or vent testing.

Functional principle:

The Accelerating Rate Calorimeter 305 (ARC® 305) is designed to replicate the course of a large-scale reaction on a small scale. The sample material is heated in a fixed volume until the exothermic reaction starts. While holding the sample under adiabatic conditions, i.e. without loss of energy to the environment, the calorimeter measures the sample temperature as well as the pressure and records both variables.

ARC® 305 supports with:

  • Thermal Hazard Evaluation
  • Pressure Hazard Evaluation
  • Thermokinetic Analysis
