Throw away your circulating bath, free up your lab and achieve faster and more precise viscosity measurement results

If you regularly carry out high and low temperature rotational viscometry in your laboratory and need to work within international standards such as ASTM, DIN, or AASHTO, Anton Paar’s air-cooled, peltier-controlled PTD 175 with ViscoQC 300 rotational viscometer, offering an unsurpassed temperature range from -45 °C to +175 °C, complies with all of these standards.

The PTD 175 controls temperature with no need for a liquid circulating bath, saving a considerable amount of lab space. Time is saved with each test thanks to the highly rapid and efficient heating (typical: 9.4 K/min) and cooling (typical: 2.3 K/min) rates. This instrument also provides a unique T-Ready™ function signal when the sample has reached set temperature

The PTD 175, a hand-held viscometer and temperature instrument ready to use straight out of the packaging, offers one solution from low temperature engine oil to high temperature asphalt binder. There is virtually no maintenance required and no bath liquid needed. This instrument provides the most accurate viscosity measurement with temperature accuracy of ±0.1 °C, with built-in digital levelling for repeatable results. The instrument’s touchscreen makes it simple to operate and eliminates the need for a PC and the device controls sample temperature of DIN/SSA/UL/L1D22/4B2 measuring systems.
