TAM Air Isothermal Calorimeter from TA Instruments

The TAM Air 8-Channel Standard Volume Calorimeter consists of an eight-channel twin-type calorimeter block and data logging system. The calorimeters are designed for 20 mL glass or plastic ampoules or the 20 mL Admix ampoules. It is designed for measuring more homogeneous materials such as unfilled cement through its hydration process, foods, biological materials, and thermosets in curing.

Monitors  the  thermal  activity  or  heat  flow  of  chemical,  physical  and  biological  processes. Isothermal calorimetry is a technique for studying heat production or consumption and is non-destructive and non-invasive to the sample.

The TAM Air is a tool for large scale calorimetric experiments, capable of measuring several samples simultaneously under isothermal conditions. This system is especially well-suited to processes that evolve or consume heat over the course of days and weeks such as cement and concrete hydration, food spoilage, microbial activity and more.
