Thermostat connection to temperature control device FTK-CC
Hoses’ connections are necessary to join a liquid circulation thermostat by operation of the R/S
Rheometer with liquid circulation temperature control device “FTK-CC”.
The hoses of liquid circulation thermostat are connected with the help of quick fitting couplings with the
temperature control device “FTK-CC” (below: inlet; above: outlet). For this purpose it is necessary to
move back the coupling’s bush, insert the hose and release the coupling. It fixes the hose (without
screwing or rotation) by groove. Check by pulling gently whether the hoses’ connections are securely
fixed.
The temperature control device “FTK-CC” without cooling device KE must only
be used in the temperature range -10°C ...+90°C.
The temperature control device “FTK-CC” can be used in the temperature range -20°C...+180°C in
case of using optionally obtainable cooling device “KE”.
It is recommended urgently to preset at liquid circulation thermostat the upper temperature
limitation: when using water at 90°C and when using oil at 180°C (only with cooling device KE).
As thermostatic liquids are usually used:
-10 °C to +90 °C water (deionized) - glycol-mixture
