The MMC 274 Nexus available from NETZSCH is a multiple module calorimeter and includes two parts: the base unit with built-in electronics and the exchangeable calorimeter module. This configuration ensures maximum flexibility.
A number of exchangeable calorimeter modules are available for different applications. The external heater and VariPhi modules can be used for more advanced measurements; the Accelerating Rate Calorimeter (ARC) module can be employed for standard process safety work; and the HT Coin Cell Module - MMC 274 Nexus HT Coin Cell Module can be utilized to characterize coin cell as a whole.
Key Features
The main features of the MMC 274 Nexus are:
- Exchangeable calorimeter modules in one table-top instrument
