miniPV-H is a fully automated, single-sample, benchtop viscometer for unattended processing and testing in aggressive/corrosive solvents for dilute solution viscosity of polymers and kinematic viscosity for general purpose applications. Viscosity range for dilute solution viscosity is 0.3 mm2/s (cSt) to 700 mm2/s (cSt)* and for kinematic viscosity 0.02 mm2/s (cSt) to 1,200 mm2/s (cSt)* at 15 °C to 100 °C.
Designed to meet your viscosity testing needs
- On-board software with specialized polymer calculations determines inherent, intrinsic, kinematic, reduced, relative, and specific viscosity, as well as, molecular weight
- Integrated TE cooling provides superb temperature control from 15 °C to 100 °C
- Dilute solution polymer viscosity range: 0.3 mm²/s (cSt) to 700 mm²/s (cSt); both single range and special dual range viscometer tubes are available*
- Kinematic viscosity range: 0.02 mm²/s (cSt) to 1,200 mm²/s (cSt)*
- Fits in roughly the same benchtop area as an analytical balance to conserve valuable lab space
- Sealed system allows for measurement of atmospherically sensitive and volatile samples
- Compatible with most aggressive aqueous, aqueous, corrosive, halogenated, organic, and salt solutions
- Software controls the instrument and facilitates tasks such as calibration, data entry, method specification, calculation selection, report formatting, and data exporting
- Single PC manages up to 4 instruments using VISCPRO® software
- Reduces operator to operator variability
- Replaces manual tube cleaning with automated washing and drying
- Modular bath for easy maintenance access
- Operators physically replace tubes in minutes, eliminating the need to schedule related service calls
- Single-point temperature calibration avoids need for tube recalibration and maximizes test flexibility
- Standard dual solvent input
