Temperature control
The viscometer does not have any integrated system of temperature control, but
external temperature controllers can be used as follows:
„
Cup and bob systems – Malvern can supply a thermal jacket

as shown
below to fit over cup and bob geometries. This allows use of an external fluid
circulator to regulate the sample temperature when using the DIN standard or
wide gap configurations. This has fluid inlet

and outlet

pipes.

Cone and plate
/
parallel plate
– temperatures can be controlled by circulat-
ing water through the lower plate inlet

and outlet

(shown below). An
external water circulator is used to control the temperature.
