CANNON Instrument Company miniQV®-X viscometer

"For Rapid Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opague Liquids with Near ASTM 445 Precision ","miniQV®-X is a fully automated,single-bath,benchtop viscometer for rapid kinematic viscosity measurement. A 25-position sample handler allows unattended processing. The fast-run tube covers a 10-fold viscosity range between 5 mm²\/s (cSt) and 800 mm²\/s (cSt) from 40 °C to 100 °C. Offering near-D445 precision,the miniQV-X has been optimized for condition monitoring of used oils.","Common Applications","Compact,robust design","High speed analysis","Fully automated benchtop testing","Reduced consumable costs","Simplified maintenance & test versatility"

characteristic.

• In-service oil viscosity
• Used oil analysis
• Fleet maintenance
• Condition monitoring
• Temperature range: ambient to 100 °C (± 0.01 °C)
• Kinematic viscosity range:
• Fits in roughly the same benchtop area as an analytical
• A well tested CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support
• 5 mm²/s (cSt) to 800 mm²/s (cSt) in 10-fold increments at 40 °C
• 5 mm²/s (cSt) to 50 mm²/s (cSt) in 10-fold increments at 100 °C
• Analysis time: typically 3 minutes or less per test
• 25-position removable sample handler provides unattended operation
• Follows most ASTM D445 principles but with shorter flow times to accommodate rapid analysis
• Affordable alternative to labor-intensive manual KV testing
• Automates labor intensive tasks of sample measurement and viscometer tube washing and drying
• Single PC manages up to 4 instruments using VISCPRO® software
• ASTM D446/ISO 3105 fast run Ubbelohde-style tube reduces solvent usage/disposal costs
• Low sample volume requirement of just 4 mL to 5 mL per test and solvent consumption of just 8 mL per test
• Uses disposable,low-cost HDPE sample vials
• Modular bath for easy maintenance access
• Operators replace tubes in minutes,eliminating the need to schedule related service calls
• Single-point temperature calibration avoids tube recalibration costs and maximizes test flexibility
• Standard dual solvent input
