Designed for high temperature kinematic viscosity determinations of petroleum products, including ashpalts (bitumens), road oils, and asphalt cements. Features digital solid state temperature control accurate to within +/-0.01°C (+/-0.02°F) at temperatures of up to 220°C (450°F). Temperature selection is made by dialing the desired value on the digital LCD display - bath temperature then stabilizes withing +/-0.5°C (+/-1°F) of the setpoint. Adjust within +/-0.01°C using the fine tuning control. A selector switch at the rear of the bath permits selection of either °C or °F temperature scale setpoint and display. High output chrome plated heaters provide efficient transfer, and a turbine stirrer system provides turbulence-free circulation. A boost heater circuit can be used to warm the bath liquid at several times the normal rate. Circulat tap water or refrigerated coolant through the built-in cooling coil for operation at near ambient temperatures or below. A temperature limit control circuit automatically interrupts power to the bath when equipment malfunction or operator error causes bath liquid temperature to exceed 16.7°C (30°F) above the setpoint or 260°C (500°F). Power is also interrupted at any temperature if the PT-RTD sensor probe becomes disconnected or malfunctions. Power must then be restored manually by the operator after checking the cause of the problem. Insulated cabinet has a safety viewing shield and a chemical resistant cover assembly, which accomodates six round or rectangular viscometer holders. PyrexTM bath jar is completely enclosed, and is brightly illuminated for easy viewing of viscometer tubes.
