Surface Measurement Systems

Temperature (Temperature-controlled enclosure)		Control range: 5 – 85 °C Control precision: ±0.1 °C (from 5 – 60 ºC, 60 – 85 °C ±0.2 °C) Enclosure also provides anti-condensation protection
	High-temperature preheater for sample curing/drying/preconditioning	Delivers local sample temperatures of up to 200 °C Heating ramp rates: up to 5 °C / min Sensors: Pt-100 thermocouple type K
Mass Measurement	Ultrabalance Low Mass	Maximum load: 1000 mg Mass change: ±150 mg Resolution: 0.01 μg Balance noise: ≤ 0.3 μg
	Ultrabalance High Mass	Maximum load: 5000 mg Mass change: ±1000 mg Resolution: 0.1 μg Balance noise: ≤ 3 μg
Adventure stand		Manifold: stainless steel Seals: Viton Tubing: 1/4 inch stainless steel
Relative humidity generation and measurement		High accuracy digital mass flow controllers for delivering gases with humidity control of less than ±0.1%RH Relative humidity sensor with measurement precision of ±0.1%RH Relative humidity range generated from 0 to 98% (dependent on temperature)
	Range: 5 to 60oC – 0 to 98% RH, 60 to 85oC – 0 to 85% RH Accuracy: 5 to 60oC ± 0.5% RH, 60 to 85oC ± 1% RH Optional configuration (heated reservoir) for long-term 85oC, 85% RH operation. Computer hardware and software The system is fully automated and controlled by purpose-built software. Data can be analyzed in real-time using analysis software
