Constant Temperature Bath

Constant Temperature Bath or Etching bath

SSNTD films are used for detection and measurement of Radon and its progeny by identifying and analyzing the tracks that are created by the alpha particles of Radon and its decay products on SSNTD film when it is exposed to an atmosphere containing Radon. The exposed SSNTD are required to undergo an etching process which turns the nuclear tracks on the films into holes. For the analytical results to be reliable and precise, temperature and concentration of the etching solution and etching time have to be stable and controlled.

Available Model : PSI-CTB1

Constant Temperature Bath Model PSI-CTB1 is an excellent equipment which facilitates processing of up to 30 films at one go. Its design achieves temperature stability within 0.5°C.

Salient Features

• Processing of up to 30 films at any one time
• Double walled construction
• Electronic Temperature Controller
• Temperature stability within 0.5°C
• Closed loop Proportional Temperature control
• Electronic timer

Constant Temperature Bath Model PSI-CTB1 comprises a double walled water bath with glass wool insulation, three etching vessels, electrical water heater, circulating pump, temperature sensor and electronics. Each of the three etching vessels has slots for a rod which can accommodate 10 cartridges to facilitate processing of up to 30 films at one time. Electrical water heater is a resistive type heater. Circulating pump is used to circulate the water during the heating process to ensure uniform heating. The electronics includes a proportional temperature controller and a timer. The design achieves temperature stability within 0.5°C.
