The DRIFTCON hardware




Back to Top  What is DRIFTCON?

The DRIFTCON system consists of a so-called “probe fixture”, a construction at which the thermistors are fixated in a holder, and placed in the block as a whole, prior to the measurement. The DRIFTCON box is the hardware module that processes the collected signals, after which the DRIFTCON software displays them. For every measurement a credit is deducted from the DRIFTCON smartcard. A measurement can be done at any desired frequency (daily, weekly, monthly etc.).
