FB-08C
The FB-08C Precision fluidized bath has exceptional temperature stability and uniformity as well as automatic airflow control and RS-232 comms.
Our most popular Fluidized bath is used to carry out shape setting (heat treatment processing) of Stents from Nitinol wire in a safe, precisely controlled and uniform manner.
This model is specially designed to allow the operating temperature of the fluidized bath to be adjusted from a remote source while the bath is unsupervised. An automatic fluidizing air control system is fitted which adjusts the air flow rate accordingly to suit the set temperature of the bath.
Where an ultra stable temperature condition is required a dead bed state can be programmed into the control system. During this condition the air and electrical supply to the fluidized bed are switched off. For a period of up to 6 minutes the fluidized bed becomes an isothermal mass without heat input and very low heat loss. Under these conditions the stability at the center of the aluminum oxide is ±0.01°C over the range of the unit.
When used with the optional Probe holder accessory for comparison calibrations of temperature sensors the stability and uniformity are better than 0.010°C in dead bed mode.
FB-08C Dust Suppression System - see "FB-08 Accessories"
This Dust Suppression System accessory is designed to be used with a probe holder and completely seals the FB-08C system for calibration work. All aluminum oxide is fully contained within the bath. It also allows silent running of the bath. An upgrade kit is available for any older FB-08C.
Replacement Sand (Alumina - White Aluminum Oxide) - see "FB-08 Accessories"
To replace sand lost through normal operation and removal of items from the bath. Accept no other substitute as performance and functionality cannot be guaranteed with third party suppliers.
