Calorimeters perform waste assay by measuring the thermal energy generated by radioactive decay. Calorimeters are typically used to measure waste materials that produce significant amounts of heat by alpha particle decay (plutonium, americium), or beta particle decay (tritium).
The design of the demountable CA503-260 High Sensitivity In-Line (Glove Box) Calorimeter is based around a sample well that maintains glove box integrity.
The ANTECH CHF400 Series Precision Twin Cell Sample Calorimeters feature a thermostatically controlled calorimeter body that houses two identical cylindrical or rectangular cells, one “sample” and one “reference”. Both cells have the same construction and the same heat transfer properties. The CHF400 Series are available in a variety of volume sizes.
