Brookfield Thermosel System

Thermosel System for elevated temperature testing of hot melts, asphalt, wax and polymers

The difficulty with viscosity measurements of hot melts and liquids at elevated temperatures has been in maintaining accurate temperature control that is consistent from sample to sample so that meaningful data could be obtained. The Brookfield Thermosel solves this problem by providing a stable, precisely controlled sample environment. This, together with the inherent accuracy of the Brookfield Viscometers, is fundamental to the Thermosel System, which produces viscosity measurements that are not only accurate but entirely reproducible.

Several factors contribute to the stable environment:

Non-fluctuating temperature control.
Small sample volume and insulated sample chamber which reduces temperature gradients within the sample.
The rotating spindle, which acts as a built-in stirring device.
The test procedure is quite straightforward. Once familiar with the system, unskilled operators can easily produce accurate, reproducible data.



FEATURES & BENEFITS

Compatible with standard AMETEK Brookfield Viscometers and DVNext Rheometers Note: Requires optional cable (HT-106)
Provides control of sample temperature up to +300°C
Programmable Temperature Controller oers single set point or up to 10 programmable set points
Magnetic Coupling Option The Thermosel is also available to purchase with a magnetic spindle coupling system. This option allows spindles to be quickly attached and removed, and may also help prevent against damage that can occur from frequent spindle changes or multiple users
