Article No. 11564
Tecam GT5 Gel Timer 120V 9999 Minutes
Techne Gelation Timers are used to measure the transition from liquid to solid during polymerisation, and are the ideal instrument for accurate measurement and quality control for the gelation of resin or adhesive based samples in the laboratory.
Features
- All models have digital timers, with the time in 1 minute increments (GT-5) up to 9999 minutes or in tenths of a minute (GT-6) up to 999.9 minutes.
- Every unit is supplied with a calibration certificate for traceability.
- A bright LED display shows the time to the nearest minute or tenth of a minute, and an audible bleep and light confirm completion of gelation.
- Stops automatically when gelation occurs
- Easy to use, push button display
- Can be mounted on a retort stand for ease of use
- Plungers are removable for easy cleaning
- Sample cups and disposable plungers are available

More Information
Sample Cups
100 ml sample cups are available in packs of 12, having an I.D. of 1.5 in (38mm) and depth of 3.0 in. (76mm) which are suitable for use with GT-5/6. 100 ml is the recommended minimum sample size. To order specify GT-6027846, sample cups, pack of 12.
Disposable Plungers
For applications where it may be difficult to remove the stainless steel plungers, glass disposable plungers are available supplied in packs of 100 with adaptor, accurately weighted to maintain instrument repeatability. Adaptor screws into instrument and glass plunger is a push fit into the adaptor. To order specify GT-6021794, plungers, pack of 100.
Standards
Conforms to BS 5350 B5; BS 3532 K; BS 3815 K; BS 5617; BS 2782-8
Procedure
- The Models GT-5/6 incorporate a removable stainless steel plunger which is reciprocated vertically by mechanical means in the liquid under test.
- When gelation occurs the resulting elasticity of the material supports the weight of the plunger causing a switch inside the instrument to close, the clock to stop and an indicating light to come on.
- Model GT-5 reads to the nearest minute. Model GT-6 to the nearest 0.1 minute.
- The weights of the plungers are accurately maintained and the effective weight as part of the reciprocating mechanism in the instrument to ensure consistent and repeatable results with the same instrument and between different instruments.
- A small vibration is applied to the reciprocating motor of the plunger to overcome friction.
Delivery Content
Stainless steel plunger and power cord with stripped ends.
