Atlas™ Manual 15T and 25T Hydraulic Press

1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Specac product.
The Specac Atlas™ Manual 15T and 25T Hydraulic Presses have
been designed for a wide variety of pressing applications, but they are
specifically suited to the preparation of KBr discs using Specac
evacuable pellet die assemblies.
The presses can be adapted to provide heated pressing surfaces with
Specac Heated Platens and a Temperature Controller (P/N GS15515).
These heated pressing surfaces can be used for the preparation of thin
films in conjunction with use of the Constant Thickness Film Maker
Accessory (P/N GS15640). The High Temperature Film Maker
Accessory (P/N GS15800) can also be used with the Specac presses.
(The Heated Platens P/N GS15515 are not required for use with the
High Temperature Film Maker Accessory P/N GS15800 as this
accessory has its own heated pressing surfaces).
The Atlas™ 15T and 25T manual presses work by hand pumping a
hydraulic fluid (oil) to raise a piston and compress a sample held in the
pressing area. The press consists of a pump block assembly, where
the oil is pressurized by the simple pumping action from a handle, and
the sample pressing side, where the pressurized oil is forced under the
piston assembly. When resistance is offered by a sample, the pressure
build up in the system is shown on the 15 or 25 Ton load gauge,
located on the pump block assembly.
In addition to the standard versions of the press providing maximum
tonnage loads of 15 and 25 tons, there are low tonnage gauge
conversion kits available for allowing finer load readings over smaller
ranges. These ranges are from 0-1 tons, 0-2 tons and 0-5 tons. The
lower tonnage gauges are connected additionally in line with either the
standard 15 or 25 ton gauge. With these lower tonnage gauges
switched on, the press can only be used up to the maximum tonnage
load limit of the lower gauge that has been fitted.
