Enhanced UL Adapter for use with EZ-Lock
Assembly & Operating Instructions
No. M09-086
The Enhanced UL Adapter for use with EZ-Lock spindle coupling systems , as shown in Figure 1, is a kit consisting
of a spindle with coupling nut attached, sample chamber, mounting channel, and water jacket with mounting collar.
It is available in two versions: (1) with type 304 stainless steel suitable for most general purpose applications; (2)
with type 316 stainless steel for use with corrosive/acidic applications. All versions are shipped with the water
jacket (ULA-49EAY) mounted on the sample chamber.
The type 304 s/s UL Adapter (Part No. ULA-EY) may be used either as an “open tube” or “closed tube” system.
In the “open tube” method, the water jacket (ULA-49EAY) must be removed, allowing measurement in a beaker
or other suitable vessel. In the “closed tube” method, the sample is poured into the sample chamber with tube
end cap installed, which may be temperature controlled by direct immersion into a water bath or with the use of
the water jacket connected to a circulating water bath. The 316 s/s UL Adapter (Part No. ULA-EZY) has a closed
sample chamber with solid bottom and cannot be used as an open tube configuration.
The Enhanced UL Adapter may be ordered without the water jacket. Check your sales order to verify that you
have received the correct configuration for your Enhanced UL Adapter for use with EZ-Lock spindle coupling
system.
