Introduction

The Super Systems Inc. (SSi) CAT-100 is an Atmospheric Carbon Potential Analyzer that provides a measurement of Carbon Potential in a positive pressure atmosphere. This measurement is determined by measuring specific properties of a steel wire coil that has been inserted into an atmosphere with a carbon-bearing gas for a predefined amount of time. The CAT-100 system is designed to provide accurate results in a cost-effective manner.

The concept behind the CAT-100 is similar to the concept behind the SSi Shim Port with Shim Stock. The CAT-100 is designed to provide an on-site carbon measurement. More information on this process can be found in the Testing Procedure section.

 

Note: The CAT 100 coils are not compatible with carbonitriding processes.
