gradient-oven
The gradient-oven is a test apparatus for evaluating the baking and drying behavior of liquid coatings, powder coatings, resins, plastics, etc.
A production baking process can be simulated by programming heat-up speed, baking temperature and time.
- Saves time and energy
- Generates various curing temperatures on one panel
- Simulates the temperature profile of a production oven in the laboratory
Comes complete with:
gradient-oven
exhaust tube
1 pc. glass plate
25 pcs. test panels
25 pcs. marking strips
Training
gradient-oven PT-2610 with optional printer Cat. No. PT-2630
Training for gradient oven / temp-chart
BYK-Gardner offers you more than just an instrument. We assist you in operation of the gradient-oven and temperature analysis. As a result you will be able to use the system to save time and money and at the same time improve your quality. Therefore, the instrument comes with a half day training course including:
1. Temperature analysis, oven profiles theory
- Temperature versus time, typical process curves
- Data interpretation: How can the oven profile be used to optimize process / material parameters
2. gradient-oven Operation
- Set-up parameters
- Linear and step gradient
- Macros
- Double macro
3. Operation and Software Training
- Software overview
- Send an oven profile to the gradient oven
- Programming of gradient-oven with temp-chart software
- Data transfer to gradient-oven and online monitoring
