Separating & Throttling Calorimeter with mini boiler Test Bench (Product Code: SLE/MCE/59) is a steam-quality test bench, part of ScienceLab’s engineering lab equipment range, used to determine the vapour content (dryness fraction) of wet steam in thermodynamics laboratories. Students use it to find how much liquid a steam sample carries, with a downstream throttling calorimeter covering vapour contents from x = 0.95 to x = 1. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Vapour content x is the ratio of vapour mass to total mass: x = 0 means the medium is completely liquid, x = 1 means dry saturated vapour, and any value in between describes wet vapour with a variable liquid content. On this bench the mini boiler supplies steam, the separating calorimeter removes part of the liquid, and the remaining vapour is depressurised, liquefied in the water-cooled condenser and collected in a measuring cup. The two collected quantities give the vapour mass and total mass from which x is calculated.
Pressure and temperature readings before and after throttling let students find the vapour content on the h-s (Mollier) diagram and cross-check the mass-based result. The same devices are used in steam power plants, downstream of steam turbines or at steam boilers upstream of the superheater, so the practical links classroom theory with plant measurement. Let the boiler reach steady conditions before sampling and measure the condensate carefully, because small errors strongly affect the calculated dryness fraction.
This calorimeter bench is an OEM product of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab name. It is manufactured at the company’s own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so engineering colleges, dealers and importers deal directly with the maker rather than a reseller.
Questions about spares or a second bench are answered by the manufacturer itself — just ask us. More about the company is on the ScienceLab profile.

What does the Separating & Throttling Calorimeter with mini boiler Test Bench measure?
The Separating & Throttling Calorimeter with mini boiler Test Bench measures the vapour content, or dryness fraction, of wet steam. Separated liquid, condensed vapour and pressure–temperature readings before and after throttling are used to calculate x.
What vapour-content range does the throttling calorimeter cover?
The downstream throttling calorimeter on the Separating & Throttling Calorimeter with mini boiler Test Bench determines vapour contents between x = 0.95 and x = 1; the separating calorimeter handles the liquid removal that comes before the throttling stage.
What are the measuring ranges of this calorimeter test bench?
The Separating & Throttling Calorimeter with mini boiler Test Bench measures temperature from 0 to 400 °C, inlet pressure from 0 to 16 bar and outlet pressure from −150 to 100 mbar. The listed temperature is 240 °C, and the safety valve is listed at 10 bar.
Which power supplies are available for the calorimeter test bench?
The Separating & Throttling Calorimeter with mini boiler Test Bench is listed for 230 V 50 Hz, 230 V 60 Hz or 120 V 60 Hz single-phase supply. State your laboratory supply when you enquire so the correct version is quoted.
Who manufactures the Separating & Throttling Calorimeter with mini boiler Test Bench?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is the OEM of the Separating & Throttling Calorimeter with mini boiler Test Bench and builds it at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, India. Quotations and after-sales questions come straight from the manufacturer.
Is a calibration certificate available for the bench’s sensors?
Calibration-certificate availability for the temperature and pressure sensors on the Separating & Throttling Calorimeter with mini boiler Test Bench should be discussed with us before ordering. Send your documentation requirements through the contact page.
