CANNON Instrument Company Thermoelectric Sample Conditioner System TESC-2983

ASTM D2983 automated Procedure D & ASTM D8210 - For Low Temperature Viscosity of Lubricants The compact, economical TESC-2983 (thermoelectric sample conditioner) viscometer system provides outstanding precision for the new ASTM D2983 automated procedure D conditioning and testing process for low temperature viscosity of gear oils and ATF, as well as ASTM D8210. Allows for unattended operation. Environmentally-frie ndly Peltier thermoelectric cooling does not require hazardous fluids. Small footprint conserves bench space and allows installation of multiple instruments for redundancy and multiple temperature cycles. Eliminates sample disruption during preheating, room temperature stabilization, cooling and final viscosity testing. Reduces result variability due to temperature fluctuation. Provides superior precision. Common Applications Gear oils Automatic transmission fluids Torque and tractor fluids Industrial and automotive hydraulic oils Industrial lubricants Other fluids where low-temperature viscosity is critical Superior precision in fully automated thermal conditioning and testing (−40 °C to +90 °C) Provides unsurpassed results for ASTM D2983 automated procedure D sample conditioning and testing Allows for unattended operation Eliminates sample disruption during preheating, room temperature stabilization, cooling and final viscosity testing Reduces result variability due to temperature fluctuation and operator intervention Cost effective, ultra-compact design with low energy consumption Small footprint conserves bench space and allows installation of multiple TESC systems, providing redundancy and multiple temperature cycles Dedicated PC is not required for standard instrument operation* Only 300 W power per unit Environmentally-frie ndly Peltier thermoelectric cooling Peltier cooling is environmentally-frie ndly and does not require the use of hazardous bath fluids or refrigerants Enclosed insulated sample chamber mitigates the effects of laboratory air temperature on the test Pre-developed test programs for common lubricants (gear oil and ATF) Reduces instrument set-up time Measures viscosity at multiple speeds automatically Easy-lift system Configured for use with the Brookfield® DV2T viscometer and compatible with most Brookfield® models Simplifies positioning of the viscometer head Digital recording, printing and exporting of thermal test history and final viscosity data for convenient import into Microsoft® Excel® or other programs * A PC is required to reprogram the unit for tests other than gear oil at −40° C
