NEW series of temperature bath systems combine state-of-the-art controller displays with high performance circulating baths to give accurate test results for your viscosity measurements

Choosing the right model is easy:

- Choose the controller by considering factors such as the need for PC control using Rheocalc with DV-II+Pro or DV-III Ultra, ease of use, pump speed, and foreign language choices (AP series controller only).

- Determine the type of circulating bath needed by considering temperature range, cooling requirements, reservoir capacity, flow speeds and built-in drains (Models TC-550 and TC-650). Consult the chart on the reverse side for specifications.

QUICK HELPFUL HINTS:

Already familiar with Brookfield baths and controllers? Choosing a new bath should be simple. For example, best choice for a TC-102 replacement would be the TC-150 series while users of the TC-602 should consider the TC-650 series

Users of our previous digital series controllers should consider the SD as the most direct replacement with the added benefit of PC control using Rheocalc software. The MX is an economical choice which does not have PC control capability. Users of our previous programmable controllers should consider the both new SD and AP series.

New to Brookfield baths and controllers? Additional information can be found on Brookfield’s webite:www.brookfieldengineering.comor call us at 800-628-8139 (North America) or 508-946-6200 to talk with a customer service representative.
