Description
The PolyScience 17 L Viscosity Bath (Model: VB17) is built for laboratory environments requiring precise temperature control during viscosity and density analyses. The stainless-steel 17 L bath maintains stable temperatures—accuracy to ±0.02 °C within a +5 °C above ambient to 150 °C range—ideal for testing polymers, oils, inks, and food-grade fluids.
Its integrated circulation pump ensures uniform heat distribution, while the digital controller lets users program setpoints and hold times. The open-top design streamlines access for probes and viscometers, making it a compact yet powerful solution for benchtop testing setups.
