Materials:
The metallic parts are made of stainless steel; the leads are made of black delrin plastic. The parts that
come into contact with the sample (sample container and spindle) are made of AISI 316 and are
suitable for the food industry.
The lead inferior washer is made with black delrin. It is designed to withstand a maximum temperature
of 100ºC (212 ºF)
The circulation jacket is made of acetyl and Delrin.
The O-ring on the plastic stopper (M) of the LCP Adapter is made of delrin.
The softening point is 110 °C (230 °F).
12. 2. Small sample adapters APM and APM/B
NOTE:
Small sample adapters (APM and APM/B) are not included in the standard delivery. Any of these two
versions (with or without thermostatic flow jacket) must be ordered as an additional accessory. APM and
APM/B accessory are not supplied with a spindle. Special spindles (TL or TR) are used according to the
viscometer model (L, R or H).
Small sample adapters allow more precise measurements than the standard spindles and reaching lower
viscosity ranges.
Thanks to its known cylindrical geometry, it is possible to obtain Shear Rate and Shear Stress
determinations. Only a small quantity of the sample is required.
