The automated CCS-2100LT is a low temperature, cold-cranking simulator for measuring apparent viscosity of engine oils from –40 °C to –5 °C. Automated sample loading, operation and solvent-free cleaning permit unattended processing of up to 30 samples at one time. Conforms to methods ASTM D5293, SAE J300.
Common applications include engine oils, lubricating oils and base stocks.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Meets all ASTM D5293 and SAE J300 requirements and precision specifications
- Instrument temperature range: –40 °C to –5 °C (± 0.05 °C)
- Viscosity range: 900 mPa·s (cP) to 25,000 mPa·s (cP)
Fully automated operation
- Automated sample loading and computer controlled testing of up to 30 samples at one time
- Unattended operation reduces operator-to-operator variability for enhanced repeatability and reproducibility
- Proprietary software automatically calculates and records sample viscosity based on test data and stored rotor/stator calibration information
- The system automatically purges the previously measured sample with a portion of the next sample prior to viscosity measurement
Outstanding measurement control
- Features a patented, thermoelectrically-cooled rotor/stator for outstanding temperature management
- Rotor speed is automatically measured by a high resolution digital encoder
Reliable, convenient performance
- Proven CANNON® reliability and outstanding support
- A thermoelectric sample warming cycle greatly improves sample flushing allowing solvent-free cleaning
- User interface options include an instrument calibration routine, configuration of test cycles, and multiple data output options including save, print and export for LIMS capture
