Low Temperature Kinetic Viscometer (Semi Automatic Type)

DESCRIPTION / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Determine the flow properties of your lubricant and fuel products at low temperatures with our Low Temperature Kinematic Viscometer. This specialized, semi-automatic instrument is designed to accurately measure the kinematic viscosity of liquid petroleum products, both transparent and opaque. This test is crucial for predicting product performance in cold climates and is a key quality specification parameter. The entire design and operation of this apparatus conform to the ASTM D445 international standard test method.

At the core of this instrument's performance is its high-precision temperature control system. Equipped with a powerful and efficient refrigeration compressor technology, it is capable of achieving and maintaining test temperatures over a very wide range, from -60°C to +60°C. An advanced digital temperature controller, combined with a sensitive Pt100 sensor, ensures the bath temperature is maintained with exceptional accuracy of ±0.1°C, creating a stable and ideal condition for reliable viscosity measurements.

Designed for efficiency and ease of use, the apparatus features a transparent Dewar-type glass cold bath with an internal lighting system, allowing for clear observation of the capillary viscometer tubes during the test. The multi-hole bath cover and new, easy-to-use viscometer clips allow the operator to prepare and run several samples in parallel, thus significantly increasing laboratory productivity. A powerful motor stirrer (1200r/min) guarantees that the temperature within the 8L bath is evenly and constantly distributed.

For laboratories analyzing the cold flow properties of engine oils, hydraulic oils, jet fuels, and other lubricants, this viscometer is a reliable and effective solution. Its semi-automatic nature combines the precision of digital temperature control with the simplicity of manual timing, offering a robust and high-value package. Ensure your products meet stringent low-temperature performance specifications with accurate kinematic viscosity data from this essential instrument.
