The tester is used for the estimation of the solidification point of TNT.
Application of 2 temperature sensors (Type PT 100), with measuring resolutions of 0.01 K , allows a very reliable analysis of temperature profiles and an average value of solidification temperature.
About 3-5 g TNT in special glass test tubes is heated up in a waterfree heating fluid to appr. 90°C and cooled down to the solidification point.
Two PT100 sensors measure simultaneously the temperature and send the data via special
Interface to a PC, that store the data and the solidification point evaluate can be determined. Measuring data and temperature curve can be print out.
