Most of the color detection instruments on the market can only detect the color of the product at room temperature. However, such as candles, biological culture, chemical catalysis and other special industries, there are strict requirements for temperature, and the relevant characteristics of products need to be detected under specific temperature conditions or long-term constant temperature conditions. For these industries, Color Spectrum Technology has launched a heating tool for benchtop spectrophotometer series, which is specifically used to detect the color of products that need temperature control.

The heating device is shown in Figure 1, which mainly contains two parts, one is the heating tube, and the other is the thermocouple. The thermocouple is mainly used to monitor the temperature and transmit the temperature data to the instrument, so that the actual temperature is controlled at the temperature set by the instrument.
After the verification of R & D personnel, the heating temperature set by the instrument is consistent with the actual heating temperature. This function can help enterprises accurately measure the color data of the corresponding temperature, so as to help enterprises achieve the purpose of controlling product quality.

When it comes to actual measurements, there are two ways to choose from. In the first way, the first external heating to the measured temperature, and then pour to the cuvette, the heating fixture plays the role of temperature control, color measurement of the product. For example, candles can be heated by water baths.

In the second way, the product is directly poured into the cuvette and heated to the corresponding temperature with a heating fixture, which takes longer time.

At present, the desktop spectrophotometer CS-820N/821N/826 of color spectrum technology can realize the above heating function. The highest temperature of the heating module is 100℃. If you need to measure higher temperature, you are welcome to find us to customize.
