1.1 Instrument description
The 895 Professional PVC Thermomat is a computer-controlled measuring
instrument for determining the thermostability of PVC.
It is equipped with two heating blocks each with 4 measuring positions.
Each block can be heated individually, i.e., 4 samples can each be mea-
sured at two different temperatures or 8 samples at the same tempera-
ture. The measurements at the individual measuring positions can be
started individually for this.
The 895 Professional PVC Thermomat is controlled by means of the
StabNet computer software and a computer that is connected via the
USB interface. Up to 4 instruments can be controlled and monitored by
each computer, hence allowing a maximum of 32 samples to be analyzed
at the same time.
StabNet determines the stability time fully automatically. Besides the
stability time, the so-called induction time can also be determined.
The results of the determinations are saved in a database together with all
method and determination data. Determinations can be searched for,
sorted, filtered, exported and printed in the Database program part.
Apart from graphically displaying individual and multiple curves, the soft-
ware is also capable of conducting recalculations with changed parame-
ters and extrapolating the results to a certain temperature.
