TLB50 Low-Temperature Bath for Sample Conditioning
The TLB50 is a versatile Low-temperature Bath and is ideal for precise temperature conditioning required tests like ASTM D323, ASTM D5, ASTM D7501 and ASTM D86. With an operating temperature range from -5°C to +80°C, it efficiently replaces the need for a water bath and external cooling circulator. Not only does it save valuable bench space, but it also optimizes costs due to its high cooling efficiency.
The TLB50 features a spacious bath opening, customizable levelling platforms, and an adjustable rack for various sample bottle sizes. Its primary purpose is sample conditioning, and it can optionally be equipped with a pump for external fluid circulation.

Features & Benefits
-
- Integrated Cooling Efficiency: The TLB50 combines a benchtop bath with integrated cooling, effectively replacing the need for a separate water bath and external cooling circulator. This dual functionality not only saves valuable bench space but also reduces costs due to its high cooling efficiency.
- Wide Bath Opening and Customization Options: The TLB50 has a spacious bath opening, accommodating various sample sizes. Additionally, users can choose between fixed or split leveling platforms and adjust the rack to fit different-sized sample bottles.
- Sample Conditioning: Before analysis, most samples require precise temperature conditioning as specified in test methods. The TLB50 ensures consistent and accurate sample preparation, critical for reliable results.
- Application Examples:
- ASTM D323 Reid Vapor Pressure Test: This test needs to be performed between 0°C and 1°C, assesses vapor pressure characteristics.
- ASTM D5 Penetration Tests for Bitumen: Evaluates bitumen consistency and penetration properties.
- Long-Term Gasoline Storage: The TLB50 maintains temperatures below 10°C or 20°C for extended gasoline storage.
- ASTM D86 Distillation: Used for analyzing petroleum fractions.
- ASTM D7501 test method evaluates the suitability of biodiesel fuel blendstock (B100) for low-temperature operability.
- Energy-Saving Temperature Control: The TLB50’s continuous compressor operation ensures precise fluid temperature regulation. As it cools down to the set point, the cooling power maximizes efficiency. Above 40°C, cooling automatically switches off, conserving energy. Compared to standard instruments, the TLB50 can save up to 600 watts of electric energy.
