Determination Of Reactivity & B-State Time

Model No. :

Brand : Gel Instrument

The TCT-1 | B-time system is a precision instrument designed for the determination of B-time in heat-hardening resins according to international standards. It combines a specialized heating plate with a digital controller to identify the exact reaction point where solid or liquid resins transition into the B-stage.

  • Precise thermal control for resin testing

  • Standardized B-time evaluation for quality assurance

  • Integrated stopwatch for accurate reaction timing

− Features

  • B-Timing Plate Design: The standard heating surface includes four specialized depressions to accept multiple samples simultaneously, with custom flat-plate versions available for specific application needs.
  • Advanced Temperature Regulation: Equipped with the TCT-1 controller and a high-accuracy Pt100 sensor, maintaining a temperature range of 30°C to 200°C (expandable to 250°C) with ±0.5°C precision.
  • Compliance with Standards: Specifically engineered to meet the testing requirements of DIN 16 916 and DIN EN ISO 8987, ensuring results are globally recognized for resin reactivity analysis.
  • Dual-Sensor Monitoring: Features an additional Type K thermocouple connection dedicated to monitoring surface temperature, providing redundant verification of thermal stability during testing.
  • Integrated Process Timer: The control unit houses a built-in digital stopwatch, allowing laboratory technicians to synchronize thermal application with precise time measurement for repeatable data collection.
