Aging Cell, OFITE Style, 500 mL

The OFITE Aging Cell is a patented (U.S. Patent No. 4,805,443) pressure vessel that enables samples to be subjected to temperatures higher than the boiling point of water and still be maintained in a liquid state. The cells may be used for static temperature exposure or in a dynamic mode in a roller oven with a preset minimum aging time of 16 hours.

OFITE Aging Cells are available in 260 mL and 500 mL sizes and use both Viton® and Teflon® o-ring seals. Aging cells are typically constructed of stainless steel (grade 303 or grade 316) and are used for high-temperature testing (up to 500°F / 260°C)
