A Shining Example

ProSlick™ Finish

Our proprietary ProSlick™ finish does more than dazzle the eyes. The smooth, mirrored finish optimizes sample quality and improves the operator experience. Unable to stick to the finished interior, water can’t avoid being mixed into the sample, so you can be confident in the accuracy of your water cut measurements. The repellent effect of the ProSlick™ finish makes cleaning the container inside and out a breeze—preparing for the next sample batch just got easier.

With You in Mind

User-Friendly Features

No need to strain. The TCC Optimum™ has a dry weight of 15 lb, carry handle, and ring chime base to make light work of container transport.

Whether you’re on site at the sampling location or off site in the lab, the quick-connects make TCC Optimum™ installation and removal quick and easy.
