Temperature Chambers for HAAKE™ MARS™ Rheometers

The Thermo Scientific™ HAAKE™ MARS™ rheometer platforms feature temperature chambers which ensure reliable and accurate sample temperature during rheological measurement of melts and solids over a wide temperature range.

Temperature chambers for HAAKE MARS 40/60 and HAAKE MARS iQ Air Rheometers are available.

Both solutions offer advantages such as:

• Patented combination of convection and radiation heat transfer for fast temperature changes and homogeneous temperature distribution
• Fast sample loading, trimming and cleaning due to easy sample access
• Wide portfolio of measuring geometries

• Each half can be moved independently backward and sideways – no special tools needed
• When closed, the two halves automatically center themselves around the sample
• Each chamber is equipped with a window to observe the sample during measurement
• A “park” position feature allows the attachment of another temperature control unit without removing the CTC
• In the “park” position, the temperature inside the CTC can be maintained while the geometry is cleaned or the next sample is loaded

• The CTC's temperature range spans from 30°C to 600°C and can be expanded down to -150°C with an optional liquid nitrogen device

• Easily installed without additional alignment when changing between different temperature modules
• Two halves of the chamber open in a wide angle for excellent access to the measuring geometries
• Optional camera with illumination for taking pictures or videos during sample measurement

• -150°C with an optional liquid nitrogen device. 
• -50°C with a cold gas chiller

• Comprehensive range of parallel plate,  – cone and plate or coaxial cylinder measuring geometries
• Various  clamp setups for Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA) 
• Sentmanat Extension Rheometer (SER) tool from Xpansion Instruments for extensional rheological investigations on polymer films
• Various tribology setups, e.g. ball on three balls for determining friction and wear of lubricants over a wide temperature range
