DSC

TÜV SÜD Process Safety sells you high pressure crucibles for differential scanning calorimeters 

Find below the different high pressure crucibles for the quantitative screening of reactive mixtures using Differential Scanning Calorimetry sold by TÜV SÜD Process Safety.

The S50 and M50 are also available with pin (same price). You can also have a look at our FAQ related to the use of the M20 crucibles.

Press tooling for M20, M50 and S50 high pressure DSC crucibles

 

M20, M50 and S50 crucibles are closed by means of a press, usually a toggle press. The press used must be fitted with a punch and a die to locate the crucible in the press and close it. We can supply this equipment, which is adapted for the Schmidt 11F press. It can be used for the M20, M50 and S50 crucibles. The equipment can also be adapted for other presses.
Further details upon request.

Press

We recommend the 11F toggle press manufactured by Schmidt-Feintechnik (www.schmidt-feintechnik.com). Instructions for adapting the press to the equipment can be supplied.

FAQ Crucibles M20

Q: What is the price of these crucibles?

A: 100 crucibles cost CHF 3200.- (CHF 32.- / crucible). Shipping and handling within Switzerland at no cost, outside Switzerland it costs CHF 200.- (all-inclusive) and 1% of the goods value (insurance).

Q: What is the minimal ordering amount?

A: The crucibles are packed in units of 100 pieces

Q: What is the delivery time?

A: We have the crucibles on stock. Usually we handle your order within 72 hours.

Q: Is it possible to reuse these crucibles?

A: No, these are one-way-crucibles. We do not recommend trying to open them after analysis.

Q: Are these crucibles compatible with my apparatus?

A: These crucibles are compatible with most DSC-instruments. It is sometimes necessary to obtain a software add-on (for example, to work with an auto-sampler).

Q: Where can I find the parameters of these crucibles (time constant, dimensions…)?

A: We recommend determining by yourself the time constant of these crucibles. We can give you advice if you need. Other information can be found in the datasheet of the crucible.

Q: I have worked till now with the old crucibles (S50). Do I need a new press to close these new crucibles M20?

A: No, you just need to set it correctly. If you want to work with both crucibles we can provide you with an adaptor (compensation disk).

Q: Is it possible to test these new crucibles first?

A: Please write us a short email via our contact form

Q: I am convinced, what do I need to be able to close these crucibles?

A: You need a toggle press, for example the model 11F of http://www.schmidttechnology.de/de/index.htmSchmidt Technology. In addition you need a plunger and a die (we can provide you with these tools).

Q: Is it possible to heat theses crucibles to 500°C?

A: These crucibles are tested up to 400°C and 200 bar. We recommend staying within these temperatures and pressure ranges.

Q: Is it possible to buy all-steel-crucibles (without gold coating)?

A: We have developed a steel version of the M20. Please have a look at the crucible F20.
