（HPA 1500）High Pressure Autoclave

High Pressure Autoclave – HPA 1500 is an instrument designed to measure the specific energy of substances for hazard classification of substances according to UN Transport of Dangerous Goods Recommendations Tests.

Application

Evaluation of the specific energy of substances is important for hazard assessment of dangerous substances. High pressure autoclave HPA1500 apparatus is used to measure the specific energy of a substance. Varying quantities of substance are heated in a sealed vessel and the maximum pressure rise obtained for each sample size is measured. The specific energy is function of the maximum pressure rise. Maximal allowed temperature of vessel is 200°C. Version HPA2000 (i.e. HPA1500 without the inner sample vessel and beginning testing temperature at 21°C) can be also used as universal testing closed vessel up to 2000 bars. Obtained results (max.pressure, pressure rise time, burning rate. etc.) can serve for classification of energetic materials.
