High Precision Instrument for Kinematic Viscosity Testing of Petroleum Products

DESCRIPTION / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Determine the flow characteristics of your fluids with the highest degree of certainty using our kinematic viscosity tester. Viscosity is one of the most crucial properties of petroleum products, especially lubricating oils, directly impacting engine performance, efficiency, and protection. Accurate measurement is essential for product grading, quality control, and in-service oil analysis. This instrument provides the exceptionally stable thermal environment required for reliable and repeatable viscosity testing.

This device is designed as a constant temperature bath optimized for capillary viscometer test methods, in accordance with industry standards like ASTM D445. The 20-liter, two-layer bath provides superior insulation and thermal stability. Users can immerse multiple capillary viscometers simultaneously, allowing samples to achieve perfect thermal equilibrium before the flow time measurement—the basis of an accurate result—is taken.

The paramount advantage of this instrument is the precision of its temperature control system. With an outstanding control accuracy of ±0.1°C across a temperature range from ambient to 100°C, it creates ideal testing conditions. This stability is achieved through the combination of an industrial-grade platinum resistance (Pt100) temperature sensor, an intelligent digital temperature controller, and a powerful 1200 RPM stirring motor that ensures absolute temperature uniformity throughout the bath.

Designed with the laboratory analyst in mind, the transparent bath allows for full visibility of the viscometers during testing. The intuitive front-panel controls make setting and monitoring the precise temperature effortless. The compact yet robust design ensures the instrument is dependable for long-term use in a demanding lab environment while maximizing workflow efficiency.

Investing in this kinematic viscosity tester is a commitment to quality and accuracy. It is a fundamental tool, indispensable for refineries, lubricant blending plants, and independent testing laboratories to certify that every product meets its specified viscosity grade. Gain the reliability and repeatability you need to make confident quality control decisions.
