IV.1 Measurement Systems for RST-CC and RST-SST
The following types of measuring systems are used with RST-CC and RST-SST:
a) standard coaxial geometry measuring systems for measurement without thermostatic control device
FTK, consisting of
• sample cup for (MB3-40...MB3-8 DIN and MB3-DG)
• sample cup buttom
• measuring bob (CCT-40...CCT-8 and CCT-DG)
• thread guard
b) standard coaxial geometry measuring systems for measurement with temperature control device FTK,
consisting of:
• sample cup (MB3-40F...MB3-8F and MB3-DGF)
• threaded joint for sample cup
• measuring bob (CCT-40...CCT-8 and CCT-DG)
• optional Pt100 temperature sensor in the sample cup bottom or in the temperature control device
c) disposable measuring systems EWS3-CC40...CC8 DIN/FTK for measurement with temperature control
device FTK, consisting of:
• sample cup seat MBA3-CC40...CC8 DIN/FTK
• disposable sample cup (aluminium) EMB-CC40...CC8 DIN/FTK
• sample cup ejector
• measuring bob CCT-40...CCT-8 DIN or disposable measuring bob CCT-25D DIN
d) cone/plate measuring system for measurement with measuring device ME3-CP/PP consisting of:
• measuring cone (RCT-25-1...RCT-50-2) depending on the measuring system
e) plate/plate measuring system for measurement with measuring device ME3-CP/PP consisting of:
• measuring plate (RPT-25 and RPT-50 ) depending on the measuring system
To carry out measurements, please select a measuring system suited for the desired measuring range
and your rheological requirements.
Give due consideration to the following safety notes when carrying out measurements:
Danger!
Operation
Caution when carrying out temperature-controlled tests: Check temperature before removing
the measuring system. Danger of injuries!
Caution!
Threaded joint for sample sup
Be sure to hold the measuring system with one hand when unscrewing the sample cup. Due to
its weight the measuring system will fall down.
Caution!
Pt100 temperature sensor
Do not immerse the Pt100 temperature sensor into the medium deeper than 2/3 of the length
of the metal rod. The cable must remain outside the medium.
