Precision
The CCS-2100 is designed to produce measurements that meet or exceed
the accuracy and precision dictated in ASTM test method D 5293.
Temperature range
The CCS-2100/2100LT is capable of measuring the apparent viscosity of
oils at test temperatures ranging from -5°C to -40°C in increments of
5°C. The refrigerated water chiller must be set to +5°C to facilitate
operation of the thermoelectric cooling system.
Viscosity range
The CCS-2100 is capable of calculating viscosity values ranging from 900
to 25,000 cP at test temperatures. Alternative ranges are possible.

Calibration constants
The CCS-2100 will automatically calculate the appropriate calibration
constants (refer to Chapter 3 for more information). After calibration, the
CCS-2100 will use those constants for future tests without the necessity
of operator intervention.
Equipment
The CCS instrument includes a Simulator Mechanism and the integral
CCS Series II Controller. The peripheral waste system includes a vacuum
pump (for evacuation of the sample) and a waste container.
Simulator Mechanism
The Simulator Mechanism contains a temperature-controlled rotor/stator
test mechanism and a constant metering, positive displacement piston
pump which transfers the oil samples from the sample bottles to the rotor/
stator assembly via an injection tube. The Simulator Mechanism also
includes a 30-position automatic X-Y Sample Table. The Sample Table
can process up to 30 sequential samples. The CCS-2100 automatically
accesses a new sample when the previous test is complete.
CCS Series II Controller
The CCS Series II
Controller translates
input from the CCS
sensors and transfers
the data to the com-
puter for analysis. The
CCS Series II Con-
troller also provides
power and relays
computer commands
to the Simulator
Mechanism.
Waste system
The waste system is
designed to eliminate
the need for solvent
cleaning. Used sample
is flushed from the
rotor/stator with a
CCS rotor/stator assembly
