StoneDDI / Diffuser stone calibration
Calibrate diffuser stones.
Verify every result.
Introducing the StoneDDI: diffuser stone calibration and verification system
The Stone Digital Detection Imaging (StoneDDI) device verifies the status of new and in-use diffuser stones. The StoneDDI can calibrate both metal and ceramic diffusers in cylindrical and spherical designs, helping ensure each stone is within bounds for related testing. Under tightly controlled airflow conditions, the system calculates pore diameter and permeability.
Controlled air flow + Digital vision
Controlled airflow.
Digital verification.
Two test positions. One high-resolution vision system.
The StoneDDI operates in a two-test-position design to determine diffuser-stone characteristics. Its built-in high-resolution vision system captures even the smallest bubbles for reliable determination of pore diameter and permeability.
Built for compliance.
This device is fully compliant with ASTM D892, D6082, and E128-99, making it ideal for R&D, QC, and many more applications.
Applications of the StoneDDI include
- Ceramic spherical diffuser calibration
- Metal cylindrical diffuser verification
Connected + Documented
Every calibration logged.
Every result verified.
A dual-camera CCD detection system works alongside a mass flow meter and electronic pressure control to read flow and pressure directly, with a patented optical arrangement and red LED (600 nm) light source. Running on embedded Windows 10, the StoneDDI integrates seamlessly with laboratory information management systems (LIMS) over its Ethernet and USB interfaces, with an easy-to-use 10.1″ touchscreen for setup and review.
Built into the workflow.
Flow, pressure, and calibration images are held on 64 GB of internal SSD storage and moved out over the interface that suits the lab.
