SP Scientific has introduced the CharpyCool - a low
temperature bath that provides metallurgists and testing
laboratories a wider range of precise temperature control for
impact specimens cooling - with one of the smallest footprints on
the market.
The new CharpyCool is a mechanically refrigerated bench top bath
that eliminates the need for costly consumables such as liquid
nitrogen or dry ice. Compact and completely self-contained, the
CharpyCool offers up to 8 liters of working fluid volume enabling
up to 91 Charpy impact test specimens to be accommodated at
temperatures between -80°C and +30°C. A powerful variable speed
magnetic stirrer and vortex breaker provide excellent temperature
uniformity and stability enabling superior results. PID control
enables the CharpyCool to sustain precise temperature control to
within ± 0.1°C. The CharpyCool includes a digital temperature
display, and an optional Charpy Rack is available which allows
multiple-specimen loading and easy access to monitor your
testing.
The CharpyCool exceeds the strict temperature stability
requirements of the American Society for Testing & Materials
(ASTM) Method E23 for charpy impact testing - a standardized
high strain-rate test, most often used on metals, polymers,
ceramics and composites used to determine the amount of energy
absorbed by a material during fracture. This absorbed energy is a
measure of a given material's toughness and acts as a tool to study
temperature-dependent ductile-brittle transition.
