The difficulty with viscosity measurements of hot melts and liquids at elevated temperatures has been in maintaining accurate temperature control that is consistent from sample to sample so that meaningful data could be obtained. The Brookfield Thermosel solves this problem by providing a stable, precisely controlled sample environment. This, together with the inherent accuracy of the Brookfield Viscometers, is fundamental to the Thermosel System, which produces viscosity measurements that are not only accurate but entirely reproducible.
Several factors contribute to the stable environment:
- Non-fluctuating temperature control.
- Small sample volume and insulated sample chamber which reduces temperature gradients within the sample.
- The rotating spindle, which acts as a built-in stirring device.
- The test procedure is quite straightforward. Once familiar with the system, unskilled operators can easily produce accurate, reproducible data.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Compatible with standard AMETEK Brookfield Viscometers and DVNext Rheometers Note: Requires optional cable (HT-106)
- Provides control of sample temperature up to +300°C
- Programmable Temperature Controller o ers single set point or up to 10 programmable set points
- Magnetic Coupling Option The Thermosel is also available to purchase with a magnetic spindle coupling system. This option allows spindles to be quickly attached and removed, and may also help prevent against damage that can occur from frequent spindle changes or multiple users
- Thermo Container (Heating Chamber)
- Temperature control possible with RheocalcT Software
- Computer Controlled when used with RheocalcT Software
- Temperature Ramping between set points is possible if used with RheocalcT Software
DISPOSABLE SPINDLE/CHAMBERS OPTION
Disposable sample chamber with Disposable Spindle SC4-27D* is ideal for asphalts or any difficult-to-clean material. Requires special adapter (SC4-DSY).
*Optional SC4-27D is available in quantities of 100, (SC4-27D-100).
MAGNETIC COUPLING OPTION
The Thermosel is also available to purchase with a magnetic spindle couple system. This option allows spindles to be quickly attached and removed, and may also help prevent against damage that can occur from frequent spindle changes or multiple users. Please contact Brookfield or an authorized dealer for details and part numbers.
