Extended Range Constant Temperature Bath

The microprocessor-controlled CT-2000 series constant temperature bath accommodates viscometer tubes requiring a bath depth up to 12" and provides reliable temperature control from 10 °C to 150 °C. The unit accommodates up to 7 simultaneous viscosity determinations.

For Kinematic Viscosity up to 150 °C. Conforms to test methods ASTM D445/D446, ASTM D2171 and ISO 3104/3105.

Features and Benefits

Precise and accurate temperature control Temperature range: 10 °C to 150 °C* Temperature accuracy: ± 0.01 °C from 10 °C to 100 °C; ± 0.03 °C from 100 °C to 150 °C Meets ASTM D445 temperature sensitivity requirements for kinematic viscosity determination Motor driven stirrer ensures a uniform bath temperature

Microprocessor-controlled temperature regulation & networking capabilities

• Desired bath temperature and calibration temperatures are digitally entered on the front panel keypad
  
• Integrated microprocessor automatically regulates bath temperature
  
• Both target and actual bath temperatures are monitored by an RTD temperature probe and continuously displayed in °C or °F on the LCD screen
  
• RS-232 and RS-485 communication ports provide data acquisition and multi-unit networking capabilities

Efficient, user-friendly design

• Seven glass viscometer ports (each 2 in diameter) and two thermometer ports (each 0.4 in diameter) allow up to 7 simultaneous viscosity determinations**
  
• Two electric heating elements quickly heat bath media to the selected temperature
  
• Stainless steel baffle provides a plain reflective viewing background
  
• Integrated stainless steel cooling coil allows connection to tap or recirculating water chiller for temperatures slightly above or below ambient. An external thermoelectric bath cooler is also available.
  
• Convenient drawer provides easy access to electrical controls
  
• Capable of using water or oil as bath medium

Safe operation

• Bath thermistor senses over-temperature fault and removes power
  
• Thermistor disconnection results in removal of bath heater power
  
• Liquid level sensor prevents operation if bath liquid is not at a safe operating level
  
• Reliable performance
• Well tested CANNON bath platform offers reliability and dependable support
  
• All wetted components are manufactured from high quality stainless steel or glass
  
• The heavy duty aluminum frame offers a corrosion-resistant epoxy finish
  

* Test temperatures < 40 °C and high ambient temperature test environments require an optional bath cooler

** Other port configurations are available as a special order
