KI-23900 Kinematic Viscosity Bath

Constant temperature bath with advanced temperature control circuitry for convenient, accurate glass capillary viscometry determinations. Microprocessor PID circuitry assures precise, reliable temperature control within ASTM specified stability and uniformity throughout the operating range of the bath.

Description

Constant temperature bath with advanced temperature control circuitry for convenient, accurate glass capillary viscometry determinations. Microprocessor PID circuitry assures precise, reliable temperature control within ASTM specified stability and uniformity throughout the operating range of the bath. Simple push-button controls and dual digital displays permit easy setting and monitoring of bath temperature. Baths accommodate seven glass capillary viscometers of various types. Viewing the viscometers is made easy by LED illumination inside the bath and a baffle that provides a background for easy viewing. Temperature control uniformity is assured by means of an integrated stirrer and baffling system for uniform bath temperature distribution. Connection of the built-in cooling coil to tap water or a recirculating water chiller facilitates temperature control at ambient or below ambient temperatures.

Test Method

Kinematic viscosity is of primary importance in the design and selection of a wide range of petroleum products. Calibrated capillary viscometers are used to measure flow under gravity or vacuum at precisely controlled temperatures.
