If you’re looking for a reliable and efficient way to prepare high-quality pellets for infrared spectroscopy, the 13 mm Evacuable Pellet Die from Specac is an excellent choice. This die is part of Specac’s standard 5-part pellet dies, which consist of a base, a body, two pressing pellets between which the sample is pressed, and a plunger. Additionally, two O-rings are used to complete the die and enable superior performance. The 13 mm Evacuable Pellet Die also comes with an extractor cup or ring, which makes it easy to remove the sample once it’s been pressed.

One of the key features of the 13 mm Evacuable Pellet Die is its evacuation tube, which allows you to fit a vacuum pump to assist with the removal of moisture during the pressing process. It’s worth noting that all dies between 5 mm and 20 mm come with an evacuation tube, while the 32 mm and 40 mm dies are available with or without one. Dies that do not have an evacuation tube come with an evacuation port to allow air to escape. Finally, it’s important to remember that each die has a maximum load rating that should not be exceeded.

Each of these dies is made from high-quality 440C stainless steel and is designed to provide consistent and reliable results in infrared spectroscopy. Whether you’re working in a research lab or an industrial setting, Specac’s range of pellet dies has everything you need to prepare high-quality pellets with ease.
