Upper Heated Plate
Lower Peltier Plates have a maximum temperature of 200°C. However, vertical temperature gradients
when heating from only the bottom can become significant at temperatures above 50°C, leading to errors
in the absolute rheological data. The Upper Heated Plate (UHP) is compatible with all Peltier Plate models
and provides upper plate temperature control. The UHP features 8, 25, and 40 mm diameter cones and
plates and a maximum temperature of 150°C. The lower temperature can be extended using a variety of
flexible liquid and gas cooling options.
NOTE : To extend the upper heater temperature range to 200°C, see electrically heated plates option).
Refer to the Upper Heated Plate Getting Started Guide for additional information.
