SO-8 Shear Test Oven

(Shown with HT-8 High Temperature 8 Position Shear Tester)

The ChemInstruments SO-8 Shear Test Oven is a forced-ventilation oven with a ramping controller for performing heat-fail temperature shear testing of hot melt and pressure sensitive adhesives. It complies with the SAFT test method ASTM D4498. The variability of SAFT tests depend on mass in the oven, specific heat factors, wattage of the heating system, fan speed, and program & operator technique. The SO-8 is the result of ChemInstruments development of a standard rack, controller and oven combination, which greatly aids in producing uniform results between laboratories using this system.

Ramping controller is capable of maintaining up to 4 different programs, each with 6 intervals.
Temperature can go up to 350°F (180°C), with a safety shut off system programmable up to 425°F (218°C).
Temperature is maintained within ± .1% of differential.
Accommodates the High Temperature 8 Bank Shear Tester. (The clock box of the HT-8 fits on top of the oven.)
Electrical requirements: 240 Volts, 800 watts
3 inside shelves provided with 6 possible positions
