Carbon Black Content Apparatus

Presto Carbon Black Content Apparatus is commonly used for determining the Carbon Black content in polyethylene and polypropylene materials. The test is applicable only to samples where carbon is present in a free state. According to standards, the Carbon Black content in the specimens is calculated by measuring the difference in the weight of the rest sample before and after treatment in the apparatus. The Presto Carbon Black Content Apparatus is designed as per ASTM D-1603 -14, IS 4984 and IS 2530 standards to determine carbon black content of plastics.

Presto Carbon Black Content Apparatus consists of tubular furnace fabricated using mild steel. The relatively low operating wattage of the heater ensures that the furnace is long lasting. It is fitted with an imported programmable P.I.D. controller to effectively control the temperature. The Presto Carbon Black Content Apparatus is equipped with a nitrogen flow meter and a full set of glass parts. Further there are two separate flasks to hold solid ice and the main combustion tube supplied with the apparatus are specially made of Quartz glass. Quartz glass can withstand much higher temperature as compared to hardened glass (borosil).
