740 Membrane Test System

The 740 MTS is ideally suited for development of new ionomers and solid electrolytes. It offers rapid and accurate measurement of the through-thickness membrane resistance and conductivity as a function of temperature, humidity level and pressure.

The 740 MTS eliminates the time-consuming approach of catalyzing a membrane and assembling a fuel cell to evaluate the ionomer performance.

*NEW* SAI now offers (2) compatible Frequency Response Analyzers for the MTS 740:

- The industry standard Solartron Analytical 1260 FRA.

- And introducing the affordable PSM1735 FRA from Newtons4th:
Newtons4th PSM1735 FRA
Learn more about the PSM1735's performance here.

*NEW* Download the Excel® spreadsheet that calculates the relationship between gas relative humidity, water vapor partial vapor pressure and percent wetting as function of user-defined operating conditions of humididier temperature, sample temperature and system pressure. MTS 740 users will find this tool valuable when developing RH test profiles for membrane resistance and conductivity testing.
