KV5000 Kinematic Viscosity Bath with Optical Flow Detection System

Kinematic viscosity is of primary importance in the design and selection of a wide range of petroleum products. Calibrated capillary viscometers are used to measure flow under gravity or vacuum at precisely controlled temperatures. Complete instrument and data acquisition system exclusively designed for conducting ASTM D445, IP 71 and related test methods Optical sensor detection system accurately measures sample flow and automatically calculates kinematic viscosity results Powerful software system for PC platforms operating in Windows® XP, Vista, 7 and 8 environments Automatic calculation and display of results in viscosity units or seconds Accommodates Ubbelohde, Cannon®- Fenske, and Cannon®- Fenske Opaque Reverse Flow viscometers High accuracy temperature control with dual digital displays show set point and actual bath temperature with selectable scale (°C or °F) Stand alone feature provides for automated testing without an external PC Integrated redundant over-temperature and low liquid level cut-off circuitry Software exports test data with graphs and test parameters directly to CSV file format for use with LIMS or any other spreadsheet program Integrated digital timing for easy measurement of sample efflux times Port Cover, Delrin® (7) Thermometer Holder Conforms to the specifications of: ASTM D445, D2170, D6074, D6158; IP 71, 319; ISO 3104; DIN 51550; FTM 791-305; NF T 60-100 Temperature Control Range: Ambient to 150°C (302°F); sub-ambient to 10°C with external cooling Display: 0.1 °C / 0.1 °F resolution, calibrate to 0.01 °C / 0.01 °F Control accuracy and uniformity: Exceeds ASTM requirements throughout the operating range
