Temperature and Humidity Devices

Test at specific non-ambient temperatures or a range of temperatures. Great for products that are temperature-critical, like confectioner, gels, high-fat or oil products, and waxes.

How They Work

Add heating or cooling.

As you approach target temperature, stop heating or cooling.

Maintain the target. See results alongside the texture analysis plot.

Thermal Cabinets

TC/LN2 or TCHD/LN2

Uses liquid nitrogen for cooling and electric for heating 
Provides an accurately controlled temperature environment 
Solve testing problems associated with hot and cold products like adhesives, ice cream, molten cheese, and waxes.

Temperature Range

-40°C to 180°C

Compatibility

TC/LN2: with the TA.XTPlus 
TCHD/LN2: with the TA.HDPlus

Humidity & Temperature Module

XT/HTM

Measures air temperature and humidity data (doesn’t change it). 
Sample and record temperature every ten seconds.
 A flexible clamping arm securely fixes probe in position. 
Connect up to four modules directly to your Texture Analyzer. No need to insert into product.

Operating Humidity Range

0-100%RH (relative humidity)

Operating Temp. Range

-30°C to 100°C

Accuracy (at 23°C)

±2.5%RH and ±0.3°C

Compatible with...

TA.XTPlus and TA.HDPlus

Peltier Cabinet & Temperature Controller

XT/PC

Create a stable and accurate temperature-controlled environment using PID control
 Attached to the Texture Analyzer base with nylon insulating pillars.
 Double-walled transparent door lets you see the sample as it’s tested. 
Controlled with a separate Peltier Control Unit which can be positioned close to or far from the instrument.

85mm

Operating Temp. Range

+80°C to 20°C below ambient

Compatible with...

TA.XTPlus and TA.HDPlus

Peltier Plate

XT/PP

Provides a stable surface temperature in order to minimize—or at least accurately monitor—temperature effects.
 Great for small or thin products like pressure-sensitive adhesives or films.
 Controlled with a separate Peltier Control Unit which can be positioned close to or far from the instrument.

Surface Dimensions

110mm x 100mm

Operating Temp. Range

+80°C to 30°C below ambient

Compatible with...

Thermocouple Probe

PT100

A platinum resistance hand probe that measures and plots product temperature
 Incredibly fast response time
 Easy to clean and sterilize without degrading performance 
Plug into two dedicated ports on your Texture Analyzer to collect data simultaneously from separate locations.

Sensor Accuracy

±0.35°C

Operating Temp. Range

-50°C to 250°C

Protection of Platinum Element

2.5mm diameter stainless steel sheath
