Expanding Technology for Advanced Battery Applications & Fuel Cells

Dexmet has taken the “Expanding Technology” to the next generation of advancements, the micro-mesh material manufactured by Dexmet is infinitely variable, and the proprietary equipment developed anddesigned at Dexmet produces expanded material with smaller holes than anyone else and produces material that is thinner than anyone else in our marketplace. The expansion process produces a very consistent product as far as open area, hole size and conductivity.

Dexmet expanded materials are perfect for Advanced Batteries Applications and Fuel Cells, especially where you are using multi stacks of materials and you need consistent conductivity from stack to stack also the expansion process is more cost effective unlike perforated material.

The expansion process allows you to yield higher amounts of material than what you put in, this is especially important when your application requires expensive materials like platinum, niobium, zirconium and titanium.

A New Partnership for a Growing Industry

Bitrode Corp. and Gamry Instruments are pleased to announce that the companies have entered into an agreement to partner in the development and sales of battery test equipment utilizing the strengths and technologies of both companies.

By working together in their unique strengths, Bitrode and Gamry have developed a “one stop” product capable of seamlessly integrating the Gamry Electromechanical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurement software into the Bitrode VisuaLCN program to simplify customer’s set-ups and measurement acquisition.  This integration can be done with existing equipment with simple firmware/software changes or integrated at the Bitrode manufacturing facility for a turnkey solution.

Bitrode Corp., based in St. Louis, Missouri, is the largest battery testing equipment manufacturer in North America and offers customers an extensive line of products engineered to address the specific requirements of every battery application and chemistry in use today.  Almost 60 years of progressive, innovative engineering have resulted in reliable, high performing, flexible designs that have set quality standards for the entire power storage industry. 

Gamry Instruments, based in Warminster, Pennsylvania, is the leading developer and manufacturer of systems for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy allowing users to address a variety of needs from research and development to QC/QA testing. 

For information on how to add the Gamry Instruments EIS measurement capability to your Bitrode test equipment, please contact Dave Beninato at 1-636-343-6112 or by email at Sales1@bitrode.com.
