Solid Sampling Press

The Solid Sampling Press is capable of producing pressure upto 15 tons. It is compact in construction & occupies very little bench space. Acrylic screens are provided for the safety of the operator. The base plate has a provision for bench mounting. A pressure gauge for indication of pressure release valve is provided. A telescopic handle is used for extra leverage.

KBr Press Model MP-15,fixing bolts for table mounting. Rubber anti slide sheet, Oil Bottles -2 Nos., Safety sheets-2 Nos.

There are 3 methods by which a solid material is brought to the form acceptable to the instrument

1. KBr Disc Technique
2. Mull Technique
3. Liquid sampling

KBr Disc Technique
In this technique a few milligrams of sample are ground with about 250 mg of finely divided spectroscopic grade KBr powder & the mixture is placed in a die. By the application of pressure to the powder mixture, a thin disc (Pellet) is made for examination. Since the KBr has no absorption in the fundamental region of IR Spectrum, only the spectrum of sample is obtained.
