V. Measuring Systems
In this chapter you get information concerning use of the measuring system.
At present the following measuring system types are supplied:
a) Standard measuring systems MS-CC48...CC8 DIN/RC and DG-DIN/RC for measurement without
temperature control device FTK-CC consists of:
- measuring cup for R/S Rheometer (MB-CC48...MB-CC8/RC and MB-DG/RC) depending on
measuring-system
- measuring cup bottom
- measuring bob (MK-CC48...CC8/RC and MK-DG/RC) depending on measuring system
- thread protection
-
b) Standard measuring systems MS-CC48...CC8 DIN/FTK and DG-DIN/FTK for measurement with
temperature control device FTK-CC consists of:
- measuring cup for R/S Rheometer (MB-CC48 ...CC8 DIN/FTK u. MB-DG DIN/FTK)
depending on measuring system
- bottom screw
- measuring bobs (MK-CC48...CC8 DIN and MK-DG DIN) depending on measuring system
- optionally Pt100 temperature sensor in measuring cup bottom or in temperature control
device
c) One-way measuring system EWS-CC48...CC8 DIN/FTK for measurement with temperature control
device FTK-CC consists of:
- measuring cup mounting MBA-CC48...CC8 DIN/FTK depending on measuring system
(holder for disposable one-way cups)
- one-way measuring cup (aluminum) EMB-CC48...CC8 DIN/FTK depending on measuring
system
- measuring cup ejector
- measuring bob (MK-CC48...CC8 DIN)
d) Cone/plate measuring system C25-1...C50-2 for measurement with measuring device ME-CP/PP
consists of:
- measuring cone (C25-1...C50-2) depending on measuring system
e) Plate/plate measuring system P25, P50 for measurement with measuring device SM-KP consists of:
- measuring plate (P25, P50) depending on measuring system
Please select a suitable measuring system for the desired measuring range to carry out measurements.
(for details of measuring systems ranges refer to Appendix A)

V.1 Measurement directly in the substance

If necessary remove in case of measuring systems CC48...CC8-DIN the bottom from measuring cup
and screw on the thread protection.
Attention when using DG-DIN!
When using the measuring system DG-DIN remove very carefully the O-ring seal between the
measuring cup case and inner part. To do this open the measuring system below and take out the inner
part. Take care not to damage or stretch the O-ring seal during removal! Insert the inner part again and
screw the measuring system.
Lift the coupling sleeve of the measuring bob coupling (ring visible).
