5. Safety Lock – Turbitronic P version
The Turbitronic P measures water based polymers up to temperatures of 150 °C in a pressure
tight samples cell made of glass mainly. During the test the Turbitronic P closes the sample cell
chamber automatically by the safety lock when the samples temperature is higher than 60 °C.
When the temperature decreases 60 °C the sample cell chamber is opened automatically.
Firstly the operator is not being able to remove the hot samples cell under pressure; secondly in
case of unexpected crack the sample cell is kept safely in its fixture.
Before closing the safety lock a red blinks three times. The force of the safety lock is
supervised. In case of a blockage, for example the operator's finger, it turns back instantly due
to prevent any injury.
