Viscometer VB-40G Heating Bath, 40L

Viscometer Heating Bath (VB-40G), 40L

The VB-40G Viscometer Heating Bath is a high-performance, 40-liter unit engineered for precise temperature control in viscosity measurements. It is ideal for research labs, quality control, and academic institutions that require stable and uniform temperature conditions for testing materials like polymers, oils, and other fluids.

Key Features:

Unmatched Performance

• Wide Temperature Range: Operates from ambient +5°C up to 150°C, accommodating a broad spectrum of testing requirements.
• Precision Control: Features an advanced microprocessor PID controller that ensures exceptional temperature stability (±0.1°C at 50°C). The automatic tuning and calibration functions simplify setup and guarantee accuracy.
• Superior Temperature Uniformity: Equipped with a powerful vane-type stirrer, the bath provides strong internal circulation to create an optimal temperature equilibrium throughout the fluid, eliminating hot spots.

User-Centric Convenience

• Intuitive Digital Display: A large, easy-to-read digital LED display shows temperatures with a high resolution of 0.01°C (up to 99.9°C) and 0.1°C (from 100°C to 150°C).
• Programmable Timers: Dual wait on/off timer modes (from 1 min. to 99 hr. 59 min.) allow for automated, unattended operation.
• Memory Function: Save up to three frequently used temperature settings for instant recall, streamlining repetitive tasks.
• Excellent Visibility: Front and rear double-tempered safety glass windows provide a clear view of the samples inside. For operations at or below 10°C, an optional cooling circulator can be integrated.
• Flexible Port Configuration: The lid includes eight Ø51mm holes for glass capillary viscometer tubes and one Ø12.6mm hole for a standard thermometer.
• Remote Monitoring & Control: An RS-232 interface allows for connection to a PC for external control and data logging. For ultimate flexibility, connect the optional LC GreenBox to monitor your experiment from anywhere using the LC Connected mobile app.

Integrated Safety

• Isolated Design: A protective baffle plate isolates the agitator, heater, and sensors from the main bath area. This minimizes turbulence and protects both users and samples from direct contact with key components.
• Comprehensive Alarm System: A complete safety protection system with audible and visual alarms warns against low fluid levels, dry-running conditions, over-temperature, and over-current to protect the instrument and your valuable samples.
