Supplier:  Cannon™ 9725S10

Catalog No. 13-100-200

Description

Available tubes cover a viscosity range of 1 mm²/s (cSt) to 700 mm²/s (cSt) at two selected temperatures between 40°C and 100°C.

Applications

• Industrial lube blending
• Packaging and distribution of petroleum products
• Petroleum terminals
• Remote used oil predictive maintenance
• Power plant applications
• Remote mining applications

Automated and precise determination of direct kinematic viscosity at 40°C or 100°C

• Provides true kinematic viscosity measurement with no need to correlate dynamic viscosity data
• Standard range tubes provide viscosities from 10 mm²/s (cSt) to 700 mm²/s (cSt) at 40°C and 5.5 mm²/s (cSt) to 200 mm²/s (cSt) at 100°C
• Low range tubes provide viscosities from 1 mm²/s (cSt) to 70 mm²/s (cSt) at 40°C and 100°C
• Follows ASTM D7279 and offers near ASTM D445 precision due to exceptional temperature control (±0.05°C)
• Rapid cycle time of 3 to 5 minutes from sample injection to test result

Portable, self-contained and dependable

• Smaller than standard capillary viscometers
• Weighs approximately 10 lb. and takes up less space than a coffee maker
• Does not require a PC or any external utilities
• Optional power inverter allows unit to run off of a 12 Vdc vehicle charging port
• Rugged, reliable design has only two moving parts

Simple and safe operation

• Graphical touch screen display provides step by step test instructions
• Factory calibrated; no switches, gauges or valves to adjust
• Solid-state bath eliminates need for liquid bath
• Intrinsically safe unit operates on 12 Vdc power
• Optional printer available

Economical

• Low cost of ownership
• Requires only 10 mL to 15 mL of solvent and 0.5 mL of sample per test
• No sample vials required; sample is injected directly into the instrument

Note: Custom calibration at any two temperatures between 40°C and 100°C is available upon request
