Spectrocertified® Compressible Sample Pelletcup® Briquetting Cups
Transform powdered samples into firm durable solid briquettes protected on all sides excepting for the surface to be analyzed. Minimizes potential hazards of breakage, easy-to-handle and introduce into briquetting dies. Simply fill a PelletCup with the powdered sample substance, place into die and briquette in usual manner.
Select from the "ORIGINAL" tapered-walled in aluminum and plastic or straight-walled aluminum.
Tapered-Walled, Aluminum. The "ORIGINAL" and most popular and versatile for briquetting a wide range of powdered samples under diversified pelletizing conditions. Taper tends to reduce cracking and fissure development. Very close outside diameter tolerance minimizes sample particles spilling over and becoming entrapped in between the inside walls of the die and PelletCup. Filled PelletCups gently float down into the die cavity on a cushion of entrapped air further reducing likelihood of spillage.
Tapered-Walled, Plastic. Similar to their "ORIGINAL" aluminum counterpart excepting shallower and accommodating less sample volume. Lubricious plastic quality helps extend die life by resistant-free pellet ejection.
Straight-Walled, Aluminum. Walls are perpendicular with respect to the flat bottoms and diameters are much smaller. Acceptable where potential cracks and fissure development from stress and strain and inadvertent spillage are not important issues.
Note: For best results and close tolerances, use with Chemplex Stainless Steel Dies.
