Update of the ARKS-DConv program 07.11.2019 20:01

The updated version 1.0.1 of the ARKS-DConv software is now available.

Small bug that could be met when using DConv for converting data of reaction calorimetry has been
detected and fixed.

Appearance of new TSS-ARKS software 20.05.2019 23:24

CISP is glad to announce the issue of the first part of  powerful Thermal Safety Series - Advanced Reaction Kinetic Simulation, TSS-ARKS software. This new line of state-of-the-art sofware replaces the well-known TSS.

TSS-ARKS inherits all the best capabilities of TSS and has many new functions, new up-to-date and more convenient interface, revised and improved algorithms for data treatment, reworked documentation. One of the novelties is the set of video tutorials that supports every application to help in mastering software. Full compatibililty of databases of TSS and TSS-ARKS allows our users smooth and easy transfer to the new software line.

At the moment two software suites are available:

• The Data processing suite includes ARKS AC, TA and RC appivations for thorough processig and comprehensive analysis of adiabatic data, data of thermal analysis and data of reaction calorimetry respectively.
  This suite contains also the ARKS DConv auxiliary program - new data file converter.
   
• The Kinetics suite comprises ARKS IK, FK and CK program packages for evaluation of model-free, formal and concentration kinetics respectively.

New issues of the CISP Newsletter 30.04.2019 00:05

Two new issues of the CISP Newsletters are availabe for our visitors.

N 12 discusses one unusual case when the overall reaction heat varies with heating rate and reveals the origin of this phenomenon that can easily be considered as experiment's error

N 13 represents collection of the cases when prediction of thermal explosion by kinetics-based simulation was verified by the large-scale explosive experiments.

CISP started partnership with Chemryt informatics Pvt. Ltd (India) 11.03.2019 18:18

CISP established the partnership with Chemryt informatics Pvt. Ltd (India); parties signed the distribution agreement and since March 2019 Chemryt became the authorized distributor of the CISP software in India. We are looking forward to successful collaboration that will place CISP unique methods and software at disposal of engineers and scientists of Indian chemical inductry and universities.

New versions of TSS series 10.02.2017 23:22

New versions of majority of TSS applications are available. Main features:

• Essentially redesigned by applying new developer platform 
• Supports Unicode thus allowing the use of local languages, e.g. for assigning the names of data volumes, data sets, comments, etc.
• Enhanced functionality
• Revised documentation (help and User's guide)
• New protection system which is compatible with latest versions of Windows and is much more reliable, flexible and convenient

Specialists of CISP participated in the XV International Conference on Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry (RTAC-2016) held in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, 16 – 23 September, 2016 and made several presentations:

A. Kossoy, V. Belokhvostov, A. Suvorov, Methodical aspects of applying DSC experiment for the study of reaction kinetics.

A. Kossoy, The system for investigation of reactive hazards of chemical products and processes based on combined use of methods of thermal analysis and calorimetry and mathematical simulation

11th issue of the CISP Newsletter 12.08.2016 10:15

New issue of the CISP Newsletter has been added.

CISP Newsletter N11 titled "Reaction calorimetry: types, simple theory and application for kinetic study (overview)" is the overview of main types of reaction calorimeters available on the market with math models and discussion of the instruments features, given in a compact form. Its aim is to help in understanding principles of RC and in choosing the type of instrument most relevant for study of specific problem. 

CISP Newsletter #10 is available 18.07.2016 11:10

New CISP Newsletter  #10 is now available. It is the follow-up to the Newsletter #8 and gives more detailed consideration of the safety predictive-evaluation method for LIB by kinetics-based simulation, which makes it possible to predict the safety of a LIB of any size based on data for smaller cells.

You can also find the old report made at 53 Calorimetry conference (USA, Midland, 1998) added to the Articles. Though this report has been written many years ago it contains the material which is still instrumental for researchers that use calorimetry of various types.
