PAT-Cell-Press
The PAT-Cell-Press is the ideal, leakproof cell for pressure testing.
Our pressure test cell for the PAT series
The PAT-Cell-Press is a pressure test cell for measuring gas evolution and drawing gas samples (option). Its advanced design includes a laser welded pressure sensor and glass-to-metal seals. The number of non-permanent seals is reduced to its minimum: a single PE seal between cell lid and base and a ferrule when the cell is ordered with the optional gas sample port.
In order to ensure best testing results, every PAT-Cell-Press is intensively tested for helium leaks. It is used with the PAT-Stand-1 docking station or in multi-channel configuration in the PAT-Chamber-16.

The PAT-Press is a complete single cell package for recording the pressure rise during battery formation and cycling, and for drawing gas samples from the headspace of the test cell. For testing with multiple PAT-Cell-Press test cells we recommend using the PAT-Chamber-16 or PAT-Tester-i-16.

EL-CELL offers metal sealing rings for PAT series test cells for highest demands on cell tightness. This tool kit is designed to ensure the correct installation when using these metal seals. The handy assembly block holds the cell in place, while the torque wrench allows you to close the cell cover with the recommended amount of force.
