Figure 1: UL Adapter 304 s/s, Part No. ULA-Y
The UL Adapter is a kit consisting of a spindle, a sample tube, mounting channel, water jacket, coupling nut,
extension link and six end caps. It is available in two versions: (1) with type 304 s/s wetted parts as pictured
in Figure 1; (2) with 316 s/s wetted parts as pictured in Figure 2. All versions are shipped with the water jacket
(ULA-40Y) mounted on the sample tube.
The type 304 s/s* UL Adapter may be used as an “open tube” or “closed tube” system. In the “open tube”
method, the water jacket (ULA-40Y) must be removed, allowing measurement in a beaker or other suitable
vessel. In the “closed tube” method, the sample is poured into the sample tube. The closed tube may be
temperature controlled with the use of the water jacket.
The 316 s/s** UL Adapter is available only in the “closed tube” system. The closed tube system may be
temperature controlled with the use of the water jacket or the sample tube may be immersed into a temperature
bath.
