Product catalog summary
Overview
This document provides a comprehensive overview of calorimetry solutions for reactive chemicals and loss prevention, highlighting the expertise and services offered by THT. It emphasizes rapid turnaround, cost-efficiency, and confidentiality in testing services.

Heat-Wait-Seek Test
The Accelerating Rate Calorimeter (ARC) Heat-Wait-Seek test is a standard method for determining safety parameters of chemical samples. It involves incrementally increasing the sample temperature and monitoring for self-heating. Key parameters measured include onset temperature, maximum self-heat rate, peak pressure, and self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT).

Isothermal Ageing Test
This test holds a sample at a constant temperature to evaluate self-heating over time, useful for reactions with long induction periods. It helps compare predicted and experimental time to maximum rate (TMR) values.

ARC Testing Options
Optional conditions for ARC testing include sample stirring, dosing, cryogenic testing, gas overpressure, and gas collection.

Rapid Screening Device (RSD)
The RSD is used for screening hazardous chemicals, allowing multiple samples to be tested concurrently. It provides data on onset temperature, maximum self-heat rate, and gas generation. Optional conditions include sample stirring, dosing, cryogenic testing, and gas overpressure.

Micro Reaction Calorimeter (µRC)
The µRC offers flexibility in chemical applications, operating in isothermal, scanning, and titration modes. It is ideal for kinetic studies and determining heat capacity. Optional conditions include solid dosing, pressure measurement, and gas flow regulation.

Heat-Wait-Seek Test The world standard Accelerating Rate Calorimeter test to determine safety parameters of a chemical sample. The instrument increases the sample temperature in steps and checks for self-heating of the sample. When self-heating is detected the reaction is tracked adiabatically to completion. The ARC Heat-Wait-Seek test is an internationally recognized method of safety evaluation. The parameters obtained from this test are: Onset temperature, maximum self-heat rate, peak pressure, maximum pressure rate, gas generation, heat of reaction, activation energy, time to maximum rate...

Sample Testing Services For Process Safety & Development Reactive Screening The Rapid Screening Device (RSD) is used for screening of potentially hazardous chemicals. The samples in the RSD can be ramped in temperature at a constant rate and any reaction will appear as a temperature deviation in the sample vessel. Up to 6 samples may be tested concurrently in the RSD, and one or more of these may be used as a reference in order to provide more accurate data. While the RSD does not offer the same level of accuracy of the ARC, its advantage is the ability to measure multiple samples together in...
