TESC-5133 Low Temperature Viscometer with Brookfield® DV2T

Cannon Instrument Company

 

The TESC-5133 Low Temperature Viscometer offers an automated solution for ASTM D5133 conditioning and testing across a range of -42°C to +90°C. It provides precise temperature control for consistent results and accurate measurements. Its compact form factor is ideal for multi-unit installations, optimizing bench space and reducing the need for operator interaction.

Using Windows software, it records temperature and viscosity data throughout the test, calculates the Gel Index Temperature, and identifies where viscosity changes rapidly. The compact design supports the installation of multiple units in limited spaces, while its solid-state thermoelectric cooling system, based on Peltier technology, eliminates the need for hazardous bath fluids. It integrates with Brookfield® DV2T viscometers and features a convenient lift mechanism for easy positioning.

This viscometer is ideal for testing a range of lubricants, including gear oils, automatic transmission fluids, tractor fluids, hydraulic oils for industrial and automotive applications, and any other lubricants where low-temperature viscosity is a key concern.

Features & Benefits

Fully integrated and automated conditioning and testing (−42 °C to +90 °C)

  • Provides an automated alternative to ASTM D5133 testing
  • Reduces result variability due to temperature fluctuation and operator intervention
  • Provides superior precision
  • Allows for unattended operation

Sample thermal conditioning completed without operator intervention

  • Reduces instrument set-up time
  • TESC 5133 Windows software application records sample temperature and viscosity throughout the test, then computes the temperature (Gel Index Temperature) at which there is a rapid change in viscosity (Gelation Index)

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

  • Configured for use with the Brookfield® DV2T viscometer 1/2 RV
  • Simplifies positioning of the viscometer head

Solid-state thermoelectric cooling

  • Peltier cooling is environmentally friendly and does not require the use of hazardous bath fluids

Enclosed sample chamber provides a uniform, controlled temperature environment during the entire test

Methods

  • ASTM D5133
