Laboratory testing
- Dust Explosions & ExplosivesIndustrial explosions occur too frequently causing loss of life, injury, damage, loss of production, litigation and adverse publicity.
- Chemical reaction hazardsExothermic chemical reactions carry with them an inherent risk of loss of control with potentially devastating effects on life and the environment.
- Thermal instabilityCrucial to safer material handling is a thorough understanding of maximum safe processing and storage temperatures to avoid uncontrolled initiation of exothermic activity.
- Gas & Vapour ExplosionsFire testing is used to develop the data on the flammability performance of textiles, plastics and other materials.
- Regulatory Testing - REACH, CLP, UNChilworth’s services include the complete range of physico-chemical tests required for European regulatory purposes.

JCI electrostatic instruments
- JCI140 Static MonitorThe JCI 140 handheld Static Monitor is an exceptionally high quality and high specification instrument diagnosing the source of static problems and proposing solutions
- JCI148 Electrostatic VoltmeterA voltmeter adaptor for all JCI140 instruments to enable voltages on conductors to be measured with no current drain. Useful to measure body voltages during activities. Input impedance around 1015 ohms to 20kV, 7 pF (30kV safety limit)
- JCI155 Charge Decay AnalyserA unique all-in-one package for measuring the charge decay time for materials and can be placed directly on the surface to be tested. Optional bases and inserts help test a range of materials including sheet, film, textiles, powders & liquids
- JCI176 Capacitance Loading SupportA flat mounting support for layer and fabric samples with direct and reliable measurement of the quantity of charge tranferred at corona charge deposition with JCI155 Charge Decay Units
- JCI255 Charge Decay CalibratorFor formal measurement of the charge decay time and voltage sensitivity performance features of JCI155 Charge Decay Test Units. Provides opportunity for measurements of voltage sensitivity with calibrator plate voltages up to 1000V
- JCI114 Electrostatic FieldmeterA compact, sensitive instrument for the measurement of electric fields. Measurements are not limited by time, commencement of testing by a static free environment or the influence of air ionisation. Threshold levels can be monitored via audible signal.
- JCI131 Adverse Conditions FieldmeterDesigned for extended use in adverse conditions, the JCI131 is a high specification field meter capable of monitoring uses from lightning storms to high voltage power lines
- JCI191 Humidity Test ChamberA Test Chamber with internal cooling as well as heating so that test temperatures within the chamber can be controlled from 10C above to 10C below ambient. Can also be used in conjunction with a JCI192 Dry Air Supply.
- JCI178 Charge Measurement DeviceA compact, battery powered instrument for measuring small quantities of charge and, in conjunction with the JCI179 Discharge Probe, the charge transfer in spark discharges
- JCI147 & 150 Faraday PailsUsed in conjunction with the JCI140 Static Monitor & JCI178 Charge Measurement Unit respectively, these Faraday Pails allow sensitive and reliable measurement of charge on items, powders and liquids and facilitate charge readings directly in nC.
- JCI Calibration & ServicingAll JCI instruments can be serviced and calibrated back at base by Chilworth in accordance with the principles of BS7506 Part 2. Call us today for the full range of support options and on-site peripherals, training and support/consultancy services available.
