through the typical range of spindle speeds for the sample type or expected viscosity. This
eliminates the need to run multiple tubes of a sample. Once the viscosity measurements
finish, the TESC System returns the sample to room temperature, nominally 25 °C.
Afterwards, the operator can review the data and enhance the digital record with notes and
additional information. The TESC System comes with a set of thermal conditioning programs
for all of the common specification test temperatures as well as certain OEM measurement
and report requirements.
