Test Method: D2170
High Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Baths
• Conform to ASTM D445, also for D2170, and D2171
• Bath Temperature Stability and Uniformity of ±0.02°C
• Bath Temperature of ±0.02°C
• Temperature ranges from +20°C to +232°C
• Digital Indicating PID Controller

All models conform to the most recent ASTM D445 specifications using digital indicating PID temperature controller providing bath stability and uniformity of ±0.02°C. Models with cabinets are made of anodized aluminum frame and panels. A safety viewing window in front of the bath jar provides an insulating air space and protection against breakage. The jar is illuminated from the bottom by a fluorescent light for easy reading of the meniscus.

Model 86-20 has a 305 mm (12 inch) cubed Pyres jar is enclosed in a safety cabinet. The 7 test positions located near the front of the viewing window allow easy view of the viscometers. Temperature range is 20° to +150°C.

Model 86-23 has two kinematics viscosity baths in a single, compact, space saving cabinet with 3 viscometer capacity in each bath. It is designed for one bath operating at +40°C and the other at 100°C.

Model 86-16D is a traditional round jar with capacity to accept 7 viscometers. Due to safety concerns of an open jar, the operating temperature is from +20° to +60°C. Control is provided by a digital indicating controller.

Model 86-16A is an economic viscosity bath identical to Model 86-16D but using a non-indicating analog controller.

Model 86-17D is the same as the 86-16D but with a temperature range of +20'C to +100°C. A protective plexyglass shield is supplied to reduce accidental contact by operator.

Model 86-500 is similar to Model 86-20 but with the capacity of operating from +20° to +250°C. Temperature stability above 150°C is ±0.5°C. The jar is enclosed in an insulated safety cabinet able to protect the operator from the hot liquid in case of jar breakage.

All models conform to the most recent ASTM D445, D2170 and D2171 specifications.
