U.K.

PSL (Poulten Selfe & Lee) specialises in the viscosity measurement of petroleum products (new & used) and the dilute solution viscosity measurement of polymers and pulp. PSL maintains a primary viscosity scale and its calibration activities are accredited by UKAS, demonstrating that the company's calibration laboratory fully complies with ISO 17025.

 

TCB-7 Temperature Controlled (Viscometer) Baths
  • Designed specifically to meet the requirements of standard test methods, ISO/DIS 3104, 3105, ASTM D445-IP71, ASTM D2515, ASTM D446, BS188, DIN 51562, 52007.
  • The bath accommodates up to seven manual viscometer tubes and two thermometers
  • Supplied with levelling feet, stainless steel lid and covers
  • 40-litre capacity
  • A built in cooling coil can be connected to the optional, TLC-1 cooling circulator. This allows the bath to operate in the range 15 to 40°C
    under normal ambient conditions of 20 to 25°C

Density Hydrometers for General Purpose
  • BS718: 1991 - sub-series 150, M50, S50 and M100
    For each series the hydrometers are graduated to indicate density at 20oC. Instruments from 0.6 to 1.0 are adjusted for liquids of LOW surface tension, whereas those from 1.0 to 1.5 are adjusted for liquids of MEDIUM surface tension.
