All models conform to the most recent ASTM D445, and D2171 specifications using digital indicating PID temperature controller providing bath stability and uniformity of ±0.01°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 by a fluorescent light for easy reading of the meniscus.

Model 86-20 has a 305 mm (12 inch) round 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 86-16D 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 86-17D is the same as the 86-16D but with a temperature range of +20° 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.
