What is a Quenchometer?
A quenchometer measures the cooling characteristics of quenching media (oils, polymers) by recording a cooling curve as a heated probe is immersed. This data reveals quenchant quality and ensures consistent heat treatment outcomes per ASTM D6200 and ISO 9950.
What makes Pro-Quenchometer the world's first fully automated?
The automatic probe transfer mechanism — a world first — safely moves the 850°C Inconel probe from the furnace to the quenchant with no manual handling. This eliminates safety risks, human error, and ensures perfectly reproducible test conditions.
Which standards does it comply with?
Pro-Quenchometer is fully compliant with ASTM D6200 (quench oil cooling curve analysis), ISO 9950:1995 (industrial quenching oils), CQI-9 (heat treatment system assessment), and ASTM D6482 (polymer quenchant testing).
What parameters does ProQuench software calculate?
ProQuench automatically calculates CRmax (Maximum Cooling Rate), T(CRmax) (Temperature at Max Cooling Rate), CR300, CR550, CR600, Hardening Power (HP for oils and polymers), Theta1, Theta2, Time600, Time400, Time200, and transition temperatures.
How many cooling curves can I compare simultaneously?
ProQuench allows overlay and comparison of up to 10 cooling curves simultaneously — ideal for batch-to-batch consistency checks, quenchant supplier qualification, and blend optimization studies.
Is Pro-Quenchometer portable?
Yes. The Pro-Quenchometer is designed as a fully automated portable instrument, suitable for use both in the laboratory and on-site at heat treatment facilities.
What after-sales support is provided?
Every Pro-Quenchometer comes with installation, commissioning, and operator training. Dedicated technical support from qualified engineers ensures maximum uptime. Extended AMC (Annual Maintenance Contracts) are also available.
Is Pro-Quenchometer Made in India?
Yes. Pro-Quenchometer is proudly designed and manufactured in India at ProVaC Manufacturing Technologies' facility in Bangalore. Despite being Made in India, it meets and exceeds international quality standards at a competitive price.
