Small Sample Adapter™

Removable Sample Chamber
The design of the Small Sample Adapter allows the sample chamber to be easily changed and cleaned without
disturbing the set-up of the viscometer or temperature bath. This means that successive measurements can be made
under identical conditions.

Temperature Control
The sample chamber fits into a water jacket so that precise temperature control can be achieved when the AMETEK
Brookfield circulating temperature bath is used. The stirring action of the rotating spindle, plus the small sample
volume, reduces waiting time to achieve thermal equilibrium. Direct readout of sample temperature is provided using
sample chambers with optional embedded RTD sensor connected to the DV1 and DV2T Viscometers and DVNext
Rheometer. Working temperature range for the Small Sample Adapter is from 1°C to 100°C.

Cylindrical Geometry
The Small Sample Adapter’s coaxial cylinder geometry provides extremely accurate viscosity measurements at
defined shear rates. Option: Solid shaft.

Disposable Sample Chambers and SC4-27D Spindle
Disposable 13R chambers, for hard-to-clean materials, are available in a kit that comes complete with 100 chambers
and special-sized water jacket (Part No. SSA-DCU). Additional disposable chambers can be purchased in quantities
of 100 (Part No. SC4-13RD-100).

Magnetic Coupling Option
Magnetic Spindle Coupling Option allows spindles to be quickly attached and removed, and prevents any damage
that can occur from frequent spindle changes or multiple users.
