Ice Adhesion Test Rig

Product Description

Committed to quality, our renowned firm is engaged in offering Ice Adhesion Test Rig. It is widely used for measuring the adhesion of ice on variegated types of surfaces. Its test surface is in cylinderical form, where ice is formed in an annular space between particular test and standard surface. For measuring the adhesion of ices sample, its test cylinder is moved at comparatively slow speed measuring the breakage strength. Offered Ice Adhesion Test Rig functions as follows:

ICE ADHESION TEST RIG is used to measure the adhesion of ice on different surfaces. The test surface is in the form of a cylinder and ice is formed in an annular space between the test surface and a standard surface. The test cylinder is moved at slow speed and the breakage strength is measured as the adhesion strength of the ice on the test surface. Care is to be taken such that the ice does not break but shears on the test surface. The experiment is to be carried out at sub-freezing temperature and hence the sample is to be cooled. A cooling jacket is provided that can control the sample temperature within 10c from -150c to 00c.
