About the Thermosel® System

The difficulty with viscosity measurements of hot melts and liquids at elevated temperatures has be en in
maintaining accurate temperature control that is consistent from sample to sample so that meaningful data could be
obtained. The AMETEK Brookfield Thermosel solves this problem by providing a stable, precisely controlled sample
environment. This, together with the inherent accuracy of the AMETEK Brookfield Viscometers, is fundamental to the
Thermosel System, which produces viscosity measurements that are not only accurate but entirely reproducible.

Several factors contribute to the stable environment:

Non-fluctuating temperature control
Small sample volume and insulated sample chamber which reduces temperature gradients within the sample
The rotating spindle, which acts as a built-in stirring device
The test procedure is quite straightforward. Once familiar with the system, unskilled operators can easily produce
accurate, reproducible data
