Aging Oven

Multi-Cell Ageing Oven - Accelerated ageing test is conducted on polymers to evaluate their resistance to deterioration with the passage of time. For this purpose the test specimen is subjected to controlled deteriorating influences at elevated temperatures for definite periods, after which the effect of such influences on their properties are determined and compared against the corresponding properties of un-aged polymers. One of the apparatus used for this purpose is the multi-cell ageing oven. The& Multi-Cell Ageing Oven is designed to carry out accelerated aging on polymers by subjecting them to deterioration by controlled circulation of air at an elevated temperature under atmospheric pressure. It consists of an aluminum block having seven holes of 100 mm diameter, each hole representing a cell. The test specimens are freely suspended inside these cells on wire suspenders for aging. & The block is heated with the help of cartridge electric heaters placed in it. Its temperature is controlled with the help of a digital temperature controller-cum-indicator. The block is placed inside a sheet metal cabinet and is surrounded with mineral wool for providing it thermal insulation. civil lab equipments manufacturers.
