Product catalog summary
Overview
The LECO AC500 Isoperibol Calorimeter is a sophisticated instrument designed for precise calorimetric analysis. It features integrated software for data management, report generation, and LIMS compatibility, capable of controlling up to four calorimeters from a single PC.
Unique Design
The AC500 includes a built-in water-measuring and combustion vessel-filling station, simplifying sample preparation. It is a compact benchtop unit with an integrated circulation system, eliminating the need for additional heaters or coolers. The system uses an electronic thermometer with a precision of 0.0001 °C, measuring temperature every six seconds, and allows for two-channel temperature correction.
Performance
The AC500 offers high precision across various sample sizes and conditions, with results available in three modes: Regnault-Pfaundler (20 minutes), Precision (8 minutes), and Predictive (4.5 to 7.5 minutes). It complies with ASTM/DIN standards and efficiently determines gross calorific content. The design facilitates easy handling of samples, with an optional string-ignition vessel for seamless analysis.

AC500-1

AC500 Calorimeter ASTM/DIN-compliant, the robust AC500 from LECO quickly determines gross calorific content. Unique Design The AC500 Isoperibol Calorimeter features an integral water-measuring and combustion vessel-filling station simplifying sample preparation. This stand-alone benchtop unit has a fully integrated circulation system, making it compact as well as simple to operate. No additional heaters or coolers are required. The operating system uses an electronic thermometer with an accuracy of 0.0001 °C to measure the temperature every six seconds. The AC500 also features the unique ability to constantly monitor temperature in both the outer jacket and the calorimeter proper, making two-channel correction possible. A High Level of Performance The AC500 achieves high precision across a wide range of sample sizes and ambient conditions. Results may be obtained using a choice of three modes: the traditional Regnault-Pfaundler = 20 minutes, Precision = 8 minutes, or Predictive = 4.5 to 7.5 minutes. Combustion vessel design makes pre-/post-handling of samples trouble-free. LECO’s AC500 software seamlessly manages data, report generation, LIMS compatibility, and can control up to four separate calorimeters through a single PC. Optional string-ignition combustion vessel provides a seamless analysis without fuse wire connection
