SSA (Small Sample)
;){kind=link}
for small sample testing...
Product Description
The Small Sample Adapter (SSA), consisting of a cylindrical sample chamber and spindle, provides a defined geometry system for accurate viscosity measurements of small sample volumes in the order of 2 to 16 mL at precise shear rates. The Small Sample Adapter's rheologically correct cylindrical geometry provides extremely accurate viscosity measurements and shear rate determinations.
The design of the SSA allows the sample chamber to be easily changed and cleaned without disturbing the set-up of the viscometer or temperature bath. This means that successive measurements can be made under identical conditions.
The sample chamber fits into a flow jacket so that precise temperature control can be achieved when a Brookfield circulating temperature bath is used. Direct readout of sample temperature is provided using sample chambers with embedded RTD temperature sensors connected to the DV-I Prime (w/temperature option), DV-II+ PRO, or the DV-III Ultra. Working temperature range for the SSA is from 1°C to 100°C.
Features & Benefits
- For rheological evaluation of materials where sample volume is limited
- Sample chamber easily changed
- Optional disposable chamber also available
- Water jacket allows rapid and precise temperature control of sample
- Simultaneous sample temperature measurement is possible by ordering embedded temperature probe in sample chamber
Disposable Sample Chambers
Disposable chambers for hard-to-clean materials and were designed to save clean-up time. Kit comes complete with 100 chambers and special size water jacket, Part No. SSA-DCU, and is available only for 13R Chamber. Additional chambers available in quantities of 100, Part No. SC4-13RD-100.
EZ-Lock Option**
The Small Sample Adapter is also available to purchase with an EZ-Lock spindle couple system. This option allows spindles to be quickly attached and removed, and may also help prevent against damage that can occur from frequent spindle changes or multiple users. Please contact Brookfield or an authorized dealer for additional details and part numbers.
Existing Small Sample Adapters can also be retrofitted. Please contact Brookfield or an authorized dealer for details and part numbers.
**Note: The EZ-Lock option must be purchased for use with a DV-II+Pro EXTRA Viscometer as well as all other viscometers/rheometers that have an EZ-Lock spindle coupling system.
