BT-512 In-Plane Membrane Conductivity Test System (Complete)
Click here for a brief overview of in-plane membrane conductivity testing
Click here for Important Equipment and Software Considerations in Conductivity Testing
Use this system to perform the following tests:
- In-plane conductivity testing on your pure membrane sample
- Contamination testing on your pure membrane sample
- Through-plane conductivity testing on your membrane assembled in an MEA
- Activation Energy / Transition Temperature Testing on pure membrane samples
The BT-512 system is designed with the researcher's needs in mind.
- The panel mount design of the gas & water delivery components allows for easy access for expansion, modification, & troubleshooting.
- Safety is enhanced by separating the gas & water delivery components from the electronic components.
- Automated, pre-scripted tests are included in the BekkTech Conductivity Testing Software.
- Develop your own scripted tests for automated testing.
- Modify the underlying software to achieve your specific research goals, if needed.
The following equipment is included with the BT-512:
- One 1000 sccm mass flow controller
- Inlet pressure gauges for hydrogen and nitrogen
- One hydrogen flashback arrestor for safety
- One BekkTech Saturator
- One set 5cm2 fuel cell test hardware
- One BekkTech Conductivity Cell
- One back pressure regulator
- Heated Gas Lines
- BT-201 Temperature Control System for control of five heated components
- One Keithley 2400 Sourcemeter to apply current and measure voltage.
- One Dell Computer installed with LabView Basic, Microsoft Office Basic, and BekkTech Conductivity Testing & Data Analysis Software.
