CANNON Thermoelectrically-Cooled Cold-Cranking Simulators measure the apparent viscosity of oils at temperatures from –35°C to –5°C within a viscosity range of 1500 mPa·s to 27,000 mPa·s. The CCS-2050 speeds up a traditionally labor-intensive test procedure by computer control of instrument calibration, rotor speed sensing, test cycles, data calculation, and report generation. However, unlike the fully-automatic CCS-2100, the CCS-2050 requires that an operator be present to load each sample individually. Improved temperature management of the rotor/stator eliminates the need for grouping the samples by temperature of analysis, as was necessary in older CCS models. In addition, a thermoelectric sample warming cycle greatly improves the sample flushing process. A new type of sample holder eliminates the risk of spillage found in older models of the semi-automatic CCS. The CCS-2050 meets all the requirements of ASTM D 5293 and SAE J300.
The CCS-2050 consists of a patented thermoelectrically-cooled rotor/stator and an integral CCS Series II Controller. The rotor/stator cell is attached to a vacuum system and a metering constant-displacement injection pump. The rotor/stator cell is cleaned by purging the previously measured sample with a portion of new sample prior to measuring its viscosity. Purged sample is drawn into a waste receiver by the vacuum system. Rotor speed is measured by a high resolution digital encoder. A proprietary software program then converts this data to sample viscosity. Viscosity calculations are based on test data and rotor/stator calibration information stored by the software. User interface options include an instrument calibration routine, configuration of test cycles, and multiple means of processing test data including save, print, and export via the RS-232 serial port for LIMS capture.
Required Accessories
A chiller capable of cooling water to 5°C is required. Supplied with the CCS-2050 is a Julabo Recirculating Cooler.
Computer Specifications
Mini-Volume Sample Injection Kit for the CCS-2050
While CCS instruments normally require 40-50 mL of sample for a test, this kit allows a CCS measurement to be made on as little as 5 to 10 mL of sample. A Luer-Lok® adapter and syringe (and associated fittings) enable users of the CCS-2050 to manually inject a small amount of sample. A switch allows the injection pump to be temporarily bypassed while the manual injection is made.
