Bath/Circulator Connection to the Water Jacket
The tubes are used to connect the bath to the R/S+ water jacket.
The tubes are connected to the quick fi tting couplings on the jacket assembly. The coupling has a
female part which is put into the tubing, and a male part built into the jacket assembly. To connect
the two, pull back on the female section slide ring and put the connector onto the jacket (male)
connector, releasing the slide ring.
Water jacket without cooling device KE is only used in the
temperature range -10°C to +90°C!
The jacket FTKY3 can be used in the temperature range -20°C to +180°C when used with the
optional KE cooler (for tap water cooling of the rheometer bearings).
The following working fl uids are usually used in the temperature bath:
-10°C to +90°C Water - Glycol Mixture
-20°C to +180°C Bath Oil
Suitable bath fl uids can be ordered from BROOKFIELD.
III.3.2 Connecting the Optional Cone/Plate Attachment
Turn off the R/S+.
When using the KE cooling device, mount the cooling device fi rst (see Section
III.3.3)
Set the “CONE/PLATE ATTACHMENT” from below the mounting fl ange and tighten
the thread. Before tightening, check that the guide pin of the measuring device (see Fig.
III-7) is in the slot of the R/S+ mounting fl ange!
Connect the bath tubes to the “CONE/PLATE ATTACHMENT”.
Connect the Cone/Plate and temperature probe cable to the R/S+.
For mounting the cone/plate or plate/plate measuring systems to the measuring device
refer to Section V.
Bath/Circulator Connection to the Cone/Plate Attachment
The hoses are connected to the quick fi tting couplings on the cone/plate assembly. The coupling
has a female part which is put into the tubing, and a male part built into the jacket assembly. To
connect the two, pull back on the female section slide ring and put the connector onto the jacket
(male) connector, releasing the slide ring.
