The Company DYCOMETAL EQUIPOS DE CONTROL DE LA CALIDAD, S.L., the Trademark that has given to their products the commitment that each one of them, depending on its own characteristics, can reproduce faithfully all the environmental conditions that Nature is able to offer to obtain a better Quality of the materials. DYCOMETAL was born in 1988 as a Corporative Society. It was a difficult beginning in which, certainly, the Quality of our Chambers, the sternness of our work and the spirit of our employees made the start of the Company possible. In 1995, the Company becomes a Limited Company and the...

HEATING OVENS  By Structure 1_Dycometal manufactures standard Heating Ovens with volumes from: 80 to 3000 liters. GENERAL FEATURES. Essential equipment in any laboratory. Dycometal is specialized in shaping equipment with special characteristical (dimensions, temperature ranges, thermal gradient, number and type of trays, ...) 150 liters Heating Oven Possibility to put one shelf each 5 cm. 2_Dycometal manufactures, high temperature heating ovens (up to +400ºC), These equipments are manufactured in refractory steel internally. The electrical and control box are separated to ensure thermal insulation....

THERMAL SHOCK Test chambers Vertical construction with upper heating compartment, and lower with thermostatic bath.  By Structure  Sometimes, it’s necessary do combined test with heat in air and heat/cool with water. Also, it’s necessary to make an thermal shock between both types of methods. For this reason, Dycometal has manufactured the Thermal shock test chamber with thermostatic bath in the lower compartment.  The normal temperature range are maximum +150ºC, to the upper compartment, and in the lower compartment, temperatures between +5ºC and -40ªC.  The samples are placed in the test...

CLIMATIC TEST CHAMBERS(Cold/ Heat/ Humidity) > Its application in the different building material sectors, is varied. GENERAL FEATURES. Our chamber has a good reference in concrete industries. It’s is used for concrete samples in conservation studies, where it’s necessary a high humidity (near saturation) and temperatures of 20°C. 1_Dycometal has different solutions: compact construction (superior image) and panelable walk-in construction (right image). The choice between one and the other comes by the load needs of the sample to test.

Walk-in Chambers 2_The Walk-in chambers has high load capacity, and the same time it guarantee the same climatic conditions that the compact test chambers. The minimum volume of this chambers is 200 liters. The regulation of the temperature and humidity is doing normally by two regulators to work in fix consign. It’s normal to equip this systems with RS-232 or Ethernet port to register  Accessories  Microprocessor control to do the heat/ cold / stabilization ramps test. High capacity of programs in the memory.  Acquisition software with capacity to work cycle programmed. Based in Windows ...

THERMOSTATIC BATHS Water heating Sometimes, it’s interesting to test the resistance degree of the materials to a liquids like water, oil or other substances. These type of tests are perform in different degrees: with water at room temperature, with ebullition water, etc. GENERAL FEATURES. Our thermostatic baths are made for heavy samples. 1_It’s usual to equip these equipments with a condenser in order to maintain the temperature water between 18-25ºC. Also, in equipments which can regulate the temperature till 90/100ºC, the cover is usually designed with an angle and one chimney to vent the...

FREEZER CABINET Horizontal construction and with forced air circulation. Specially designed to acclimate tests at low temperatures. Sometimes, are used to simulate, with a heating oven, freeze-thaw tests. These equipments are ideal for high volumes samples. _Depending of the volume, It’s possible to install pneumatic cylinders to open the cover easily. The most common is install gas springs, they are cheaper and equally functional. Dycometal has standard equipments with volumes: 150, 250, 350 and 500 liters. All the equipments are manufactured with a temperature range up to -40ºC. An alternative...

AUTOMATIZED EQUIPMENT FOR FREEZE-THAW TEST MOD. CHD-525, According with freeze-thaw test standard GENERAL FEATURES. The building materials which are installed outdoor, have to endure strong environmental conditions during years: rain, ice, sun, wind, etc. In Winter, undergoing high thermal changes between day and night; with humidity absorption during the day and frost in the night, causing a high degradation in the materials. With the freeze-thaw test, the building materials manufacturers can optimize their products in the laboratory, reducing and erasing damages. This gives to the users a high...

Thermostatic bath is the module where reconditioning the water; and is the place where the water goes to the cabinet. 1_The control of the equipment, is totally managed from the control box , installed in the lateral of the cabinet. One RS-232 port is at the rear of the cabinet, allows to connect a PC and control the equipment and data acquisition of the test; thanks to a complete software. The PLC guarantee the place of the possible system fault. 2_Dycometal is characterized by be actualized in the newest standards. For this reason, we have modified some points in the cabinet in order to perform...

FREEZE-THAW TEST CABINET MOD. CHDE, compatible for pieces of masonry according with prEN- 772-22 standard, and baked clay cobblestones according with UNE-EN 1344:2002  Dycometal has develop several models which reproduce the spirit of the standards. _The objective and ending of the equipment is the possibility to reproduce totally automatized freeze-thaw tests to murals or baked clay cobblestones. The system is accompanied with a water spray device (rain type), impacting over the interior walls of the murals.  In order to comply with the requirements of the standards, the cabinet has the next...
