Fully automated, the CANNON miniQV-X is a single-bath, benchtop viscometer for rapid kinematic viscosity of transparent and opaque liquids.
The miniQV-X is optimized for in-service oil testing and other high-speed applications
Features and Benefits
Robust, Compact Design
- A trusted CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support
- Occupies the same benchtop space as an analytical balance
- Temperature range is 40 to 100 °C (± 0.01 °C)
- Kinematic viscosity range:
- 5 to 50 mm²/second (cSt), in 10-fold increments, at 100 °C
- 5 to 800 mm²/second (cSt), in 10-fold increments, at 40 °C
High-Speed Analysis
- High-speed analysis in three minutes or less per test
- Most ASTM D445 principles are followed but with only one analysis for rapid output
Fully Automated Benchtop Testing
- Removable sample handler with 25 positions for unattended operation
- Save time and money versus manual KV testing by automating sample measurement and washing/drying viscometer
- VISCPRO®software allows a single PC to control up to four instruments
Reduced Consumable Costs
- Only 4 to 5 mL of sample, and 8 mL of solvent, is needed for each test
- ASTM D446/ISO 3105 fast-run, Ubbelohde-style tube reduces solvent usage and disposal costs
- Uses low-cost HDPE sample vials
Test Versatility and Simplified Maintenance
- Single-point temperature calibration enhances test versatility and removes the expense of tube recalibration
- Standard dual solvent input
- Easy maintenance access with modular bath design
- Tube replacement can be easily done by operators in minutes, removing the need for related service calls
