Custom Test Equipment for the Battery & Aerospace Industries
PRODUCTS
A complete 9100-2 system is comprised of these individual parts
Low Resistance Test System
Product ID: 9100-2 Low Resistance Test
The Model 9000-9100 Bath is arranged in a 4-terminal electrical configuration and is constructed of acrylic plastic materials that are suitable for common battery electrolytes.
Carbon electrodes are used for both sulfuric acid electrolytes and potassium hydoxide solutions. The separator material forms a gasket between two plastic panels which support the separator and position it for measurement.
9000-9100 Bath
Product ID: 9000-9100
The Model 9100-2 measures the resistance of single or multiple battery separators quickly and accurately when used with our Model 9000-9100 Electrolyte Test Bath. This system uses a 4-terminal measurement technique which cancels the effects of electrode/electrolyte potentials.
The 9100-2 minimizes self-heating with test currents of 10 or 100 ma at a 10% duty cycle. An offset test switch enables the voltmeter to monitor any bath polarization. Front panel switches control standby/operate, offset test, and reset. Preset (digital offset) is standard, as is range scaling which gives direct readout of resistance per unit area. Also standard is the remote operation switch box.
Temperature Controlled Water Bath
Product ID: 9001 Temp Controlled
The Palico 9001 Temperature Controlled Water Bath is used to maintain the test cell at a fixed temperature to eliminate temperature correction in measurement of separator resistance.
The front panel controls on the 9001 Bath provide adjustment of the temperature of the water bath to a fraction of a degree F over the range from ambient temperature to 100 deg. F (37.8 deg.C).
Remote Control
Product ID: 9100-2 Remote Control
The Palico 9100-2 system utilizes modern day technology to measure the electrical resistance of separators used in acid and alkaline batteries. Resolution is 0.1 milliohm for 2 square inch and 20 square centimeter apertures and 0.01 milliohm for the 5 square inch and 50 square centimeter apertures. Optional scaled digital display to tenths of milliohms makes possible rapid tests for quality control purposes in the lab or on the production line.
The measuring system is combined with a precision engineered electrolytic bath for soaking, handling and testing of separator materials.
