Description

Comply with the requirements of GOST 33, ASTM D445, IP 71, ISO 3104 and DIN 51366
Temperature control range:
• +20…+100 °C for VIS-T-08-4
• +20…+150 °C for VIS -T-09-4
Constant coolant level
Four viscometers in one row
Liquid overflow thermostats with transparent walls VIS-T-08-4 and VIS-T-09-4 are designed to maintain the set temperature when measuring the viscosity of petroleum products using glass viscometers in in accordance with GOST 33, ASTM D445, IP 71, ISO 3104 and DIN 51366.

  • Advanced self-diagnostics and protection systems for monitoring the excess of the coolant temperature over the set value, the coolant level in the bath, the temperature of the pump motor, the health of the heaters and their controls.
  • Turn on and off at the specified time thanks to the built-in clock.
  • Adaptive self-adjusting temperature controller.
  • The ability to regulate the temperature according to the program, consisting of 10 temperature-time intervals.
  • Selection of optimal settings depending on the heat carrier used.
  • Adjustable rate of heating and cooling of the coolant.
  • Possibility to connect an external temperature sensor.
  • Pumps made of stainless steel, bearings and spring couplings of the original design used in the drive guarantee long-term operation of thermostats with any coolant in a wide temperature range.
  • “Careful” attitude to polymethylsiloxane (PMS) coolants, which increases the period of their use.
  • Convenient built-in stopwatch for counting time when taking measurements.

Long-term temperature stability in the internal bath
VIS-T-08-4, determined using TERKON with ETS-100: VIS-T-08 stability
A constant level of the heat carrier in the gap between the windows of the external and internal baths is ensured by the presence of a buffer bath. This design eliminates the need for frequent addition of coolant. In a standard 2-bath design, when the coolant evaporates, its level between the windows of the outer and inner baths quickly decreases, which interferes with the observation of viscometers during the measurement process.
Built-in heat exchanger for connection to a water supply or through-flow cooler when the control temperature is set below or slightly above ambient temperature.
Holders for glass viscometers are included in the scope of supply.
Available as options: external control sensor, RS-232 or RS-485 interfaces.
