Automatic Viscometer for Polymers model MiniPV-HX

Tabletop, single-bath, fully automatic viscometer with 10-position autosampler for unattended processing and testing in aggressive/corrosive solvents for dilute solution viscosity of polymers and kinematic viscosity for general purpose applications.

ASTM D445 accuracy

• Compact and robust design.
• Software integrated with specialized polymer calculations determines inherent, intrinsic, kinematic, reduced, relative and specific viscosity, as well as molecular weight.
• Polymer viscosity range in dilute solution: 0.3 mm²/s (cSt) to 700 mm²/s (cSt); Single-range and special dual-range viscometer tubes are available*.
• Kinematic viscosity range: 0.02 mm²/s (cSt) to 1200 mm²/s (cSt)*.
• Compatible with the most aggressive aqueous, corrosive, halogenated, organic and saline solutions.
• Integrated TE cooling providing excellent temperature control from 15°C to 100°C.
• The software controls the instrument and facilitates tasks such as calibration, data entry, method specification, calculation selection, report formatting and data export.
• Reduces operator-to-operator variability.
• Replaces manual tube cleaning with automated washing and drying.
• Modular bathroom for easy maintenance access.
• Operators physically replace the tubes in minutes.
• Single-point temperature calibration avoids the need to recalibrate the tube and maximizes test flexibility.
• Standard double solvent inlet.

• Dimensions (W X D X H): 25.4 cm × 39.6 cm × 78.7 cm
• Weight: 24 kg.
• Maximum throughput: 12 minutes cycle time (includes washing and drying time)
• Sample capacity: 10 positions.
• Viscosity range:
  • • Dilute solution: 0.3 mm 2 /s (cSt) to 700 mm 2 /s (cSt)*.
    • Kinematics: 0.02 mm 2 /s (cSt) to 1200 mm 2 /s (cSt)*.
• Accuracy: Time: 0.01 sec.
• Temperature range and accuracy: 15°C to 100°C, ± 0.01°C.
• Minimum sample/solvent volume: 10 ml sample/30 ml wash solvent.
• Power supply: 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
• Data output: RS-232 through RS-485.
• Operating conditions: 15°C to 30°C, 10% to 75% relative humidity (non-condensing), Installation category II; Pollution degree 2.
• Computer-controlled automatic equipment with VISCPRO® Software.

*Higher viscosity measurements may be limited by test temperature and sample type.
