• Crude oil testing
• Glycols
  

Overview

Designed for kinematic viscosity measurements within a temperature range of 20 °C to 100 °C, the CT-500 series constant temperature bath adheres to ASTM D445/D446 and ISO 3104/3105 standards. This reliable unit accommodates viscometer tubes up to 12 inches in depth and supports up to seven simultaneous viscosity tests.

Cannon CT-500 Constant Temperature Bath Features and Benefits

• Precision Temperature Control:
  • Temperature range: 20 °C to 100 °C, with an accuracy of ± 0.01 °C.
  • Offers variable temperature selection between 20 °C and 100 °C, or choose from ten pre-set temperature points (20 °C, 25 °C, 30 °C, 40 °C, 50 °C, 60 °C, 70 °C, 80 °C, 90 °C, and 100 °C).
  • Fully compliant with ASTM D445 requirements for temperature sensitivity in kinematic viscosity tests.
  • A motor-driven stirrer ensures uniform bath temperature.
• Safety Features:
  • An over-temperature sensor shuts off power if a fault is detected.
  • The bath heater power is disabled if the thermistor is disconnected.
  • A liquid level sensor prevents operation if the bath liquid is below safe levels.
• User-Friendly and Efficient Design:
  • Equipped with seven viscometer ports (each 2 inches in diameter) and two thermometer ports (each 0.4 inches in diameter) for conducting up to seven viscosity tests at once.
  • Dual electric heating elements provide rapid temperature elevation to the desired level.
  • A stainless steel baffle offers a reflective, plain background for clear visibility.
  • A convenient drawer grants easy access to the bath’s electrical controls.
• Durability and Reliability:
  • All wetted parts are crafted from high-quality stainless steel or glass.
  • A robust aluminum frame with a corrosion-resistant epoxy finish ensures longevity.
