BOCLE 2.0

Fully automated for continuous testing

Features

Quickly setup and execute a test from the software interface with a single click. The controller monitors the standard test conditions and executes both pretreatment and test phases without user intervention. Continuous data logging ensures traceability.

Automated hybrid loading

Calibrated deadweight assembly that is automatically applied after completion of pre-treatment step.

Automated test sequence

Switching from pre-treatment to test phase is auto-executed with synchronized change in flow valves and rates

Multi-test capability

Numbered spacers for offset positioning allows 10 tests per ring to maximize consumable utilization.

Automated conditioned air unit

Conditioned air unit with dryer, control valves and sensors has a small footprint and requires only a compressed air line
