BVS3000 Brookfield Viscosity Liquid Bath System
Constant temperature liquid bath permits testing of samples without the risk of sample temperature rise. After cooling in the air bath, the sample must be transferred to the balsa cell carrier for testing with the Rotational viscometer. If the sample is not tested quickly, there is the risk of sample temperature rise. The Brookfield Viscosity Liquid Bath System eliminates this risk by permitting the sample to be tested in a constant temperature environment. The Rotational viscometer mounts directly on the bath and the samples are rotated into position under the spindle by means of a built-in turntable. Cooling system maintains temperature with ±0.05°C stability in the range of +10°C to –55°C. Bath temperature is displayed in digital format.

Test Method
Determines the low temperature, low shear rate viscosities of gear oils, automatic transmission fluids, hydraulic oils and other fluid lubricants by use of a rotational viscometer.
Mechanically refrigerated cold cabinet prepares samples for dynamic viscosity determinations on petroleum lubricants. A built-in turntable rotates the samples at 4rpm per specifications. Cooling system maintains cabinet temperature within ±0.1°C at temperatures as low as –50°C. Cabinet temperature is displayed in digital format on the front panel. Cabinet accommodates sixteen (16) sample cells with cell carriers. Includes insulated cover.
Features
