Bakelite - 20 cm * 15mm thick
Press Wood- 20 cm * 12mm thick
Control Panel and Instrumentation Specifications:
Digital Temperature Scanner: Micro-Controller based 10 Channel Scanner for RTD type
Sensor with Thumbwheel Switch. Make: Nutronics, India
Digital Voltmeter: Single Phase Range 0-300 V AC. Size: 48(H)x 96(W) x 130mm(D) Make
Nutronics, India
Digital Ammeter: Single Phase Range 0-2 Amp AC. Size: 48(H)x 96(W) x 130mm(D) Make
Nutronics, India
Cam Operated Rotary Switch with ON/OFF Switching Position For Heater Operation and
Mains Supply
LED Main Supply Indicator
Continuously Variable Autotransformer : Single Phase - 2 Amp, Open Type Air Cooled
Heater: 300 Watt Plate Type Heater
Thermocouple: RTD Type 8 Nos.
Procedure:
1. Arrange the plates properly (symmetrically) on both side of heater plate.
2. See that plate is symmetrically arranged on both sides of heater plate
(arranged normally).
3. Operate the hand press properly to achieve the steady environmental conditions.
4. Close the box by cover sheet to achieve the environmental conditions.
5. Start the supply of heater. By varying the dimmer stat, adjust the input
6. Take the readings of all thermocouples at an interval of 10 minutes until steady state is
reached.
7. Note down the steady state readings in the observation table.
