New Multi-sample Automatic Polymer-Foam Analyzer from Quantachrome

Quantachrome Instruments, a leading manufacturer of materials characterization instruments, announces the launch of the new PentaFoam 5200e. The PentaFoam builds on the reputation of the existing Quantachrome Pentapyc and UltraFoam pycnometers - combining the multiple sample capability of the former with the foam analyzing capability of the latter.

Fully automated analysis sequences are programmed using the built-in keypad, or from your PC using a standard browser... no special software needed! Analyses are made according to ASTM D6226, "Standard Test Method for Open Cell Content of Rigid Cellular Plastics." The PentaFoam offers both both uncorrected and corrected-for-cutting methods. The PentaFoam also includes multi-lingual capability, USB flash (thumb) drive data transfer, ethernet connectivity, a USB printer port and standard true-density measurement mode for polymer pellets, pigments, fillers and other compounding solids.
