CERAMICX INFRARED FOR INDUSTRY PORTABLE TEST STAND Ceramicx’ new Portable Test Stand allows for quick and consistent testing of materials. The interchangeable long, medium and short wave Infrared emitters are easily attached to the test stand. The emitters face down and heat a material that is placed on a stainless steel mesh. The distance between emitter and material can easily be adjusted between 50mm and 200mm, in 50mm intervals. This test stand allows the user to quickly determine the most suitable type of emitter and heating distance for a specific material, with consistent results due to...
