Thermoelectric Sample Conditioner System

SKU : G-109-TESC
Manufacturer: Cannon Instruments

The CANNON® Thermoelectric Sample Conditioner System is the first to automate the entire ASTM D2983 conditioning and testing process including preheating, room temperature stabilization, cooling of the sample to test temperature, and final viscosity testing. Automation lessens operator hands-on time while integration of the complete conditioning and testing process reduces the temperature fluctuation and result variability associated with other D2983 conditioning options. The system’s low cost and small footprint allow labs to purchase and operate multiple TESC Systems within a relatively small benchtop area. The use of multiple systems enables uninterrupted testing during maintenance of individual units and offers the flexibility of having each unit programmed to a different test temperature.

Common Applications:

Gear oils
Automatic transmission fluids
Industrial and automotive hydraulic oils
Tractor fluids
Lubricating oils

Fully integrated and automated thermal conditioning and testing (–40 °C to +90 °C)

Allows the sample to remain stationary in the test chamber throughout preheating, room temperature stabilization, cooling, and final viscosity testing
Avoids result variability from temperature fluctuation and sample disruption associated with alternative conditioning options
Temperature control of the complete conditioning process provides superior precision compared to traditional D2983 conditioning options
Allows for unattended operation

Pre-developed test programs for common lubricants (gear oil and ATF)

Reduces instrument set-up time

Cost effective, ultra-compact design

Allows installation of multiple TESC Systems in a relatively small benchtop area for redundancy and greater test versatility
Conserves precious bench space

Easy-lift system compatible with Brookfield® DV2T viscometer

Permits easy adjustment of the viscometer head

Avoids use of flammable bath fluids

Solid-state thermoelectric cooling eliminates hazards associated with flammable bath fluids such as methanol

Digital recording and printing of thermal test history

Viscometer records and exports thermal test history data and final viscosity measurements as a CSV file for import into Microsoft® Excel® or other programs
