Isothermal Calorimetry

Fauske & Associates uses the TAM (Thermal Activity Monitor) to detect chemical activity that could develop into a thermal runaway during transport or storage of bulk quantities.

Data obtained provides the ability to:

• Assure safe chemical management in transportation and storage
• Determine activation energies
• Determine rate laws
• Evaluate fermentation rates
• Determine vapor pressure
• Measure oxidation or corrosion rates  (oxygen consumption)
• Quantify shelf life
• Control product quality

Applications

• Chemical reactions (batch)
• Bio-activity (fungi, rotting)
• Products
• Isothermal heat production at storage conditions
• Interaction tests
• Autocatalytic behavior test

Typical Parameters

• Heat production (µW)

Specifications

• Temperature range: 5-90°C
• Temperature stability: 0.1 mK (= 0.0001°C)
• Pressure range: 0-50 barg
•  Sample volumes: up to 4 ml
• Lower heat limit: 1 µW
• Upper heat limit: 3 mW
