Automatic Plastometer PF-12
Overview
The PF-12 plastometer is intended for measuring plasticity properties of coal heated under the conditions defined by the ASTM D 2639 – 08 and ISO 10329 standard. The outcomes of the test are plasticity nature of the coal.
The PF-12 plastometer is a fully automatic, compact, single furnace instrument. A single furnace with molten solder bath is equipped with sophisticated control system of heating range and heating rate to ensure the required accuracy level to meet the requirements of ASTM D-2639-08, ISO 10329. For quick cooling, the furnace has a built-in fan (allowing another test to be started shortly afterwards).

- Temperature (deg C) and Fluidity (D.D.P.M) and Stirrer speed (RPM) are displayed at the end of each test.
- Automatic crucible movement (up & down).
- Built – in exhaust device.
- The temperature measurement failure detection.
- Cooling of the furnace by the fan analysis.
- Automatic creation of *. csv files for statistical analysis.
