Transparent thermostat CT 53

This thermostat is for use with temperatures between +5°C and +102°C. Between +5°C and +50°C cooling is recommended to maintain the temperature constancy. Either a flow-through cooler (e.g. CK300, see Accessories) or simple cooling with circulated water can be used.

Transparent thermostat CT 53 TT

These thermostats have been specifically designed for use at temperatures well below room temperature. Viscosity measurements can be measured between – 40°C and + 102 °C. For measurements under +5°C, a cryostat is necessary to reach the low temperatures.

Transparent thermostat CT 53 HT

The high temperature version of the thermostats is used to measure viscosity at temperatures above + 80°C (see Technical specification).

When using in the normal temperature range it is necessary to cool the system (+5°C to approx. +50°C) to maintain the temperature constancy. This can be achieved either by using circulated water or a flow-through cooler (e.g. CK300).

* When using with 4 or 8 micro-TC-viscometers, a special holder (Type: VZ 7191) is required for two of the existing measurement positions.

** When using at very low temperatures (well below room temperature) a cryostat is required. Cryostats can be included in delivery ( at the list price of the manufacturer).
