The Ravenfield® by CANNON® HTHS BS/C+ Viscometer is a compact, high precision, tapered plug viscometer that measures the high temperature, high shear viscosity of engine lubricants and other oils according to ASTM D4741, CEC L-36-A-90 and IP 370 as specified by SAE J300 and ACEA. The BS/C+ HTHS Tapered Plug Viscometer also correlates to ASTM D4683 with no bias and is capable of testing across a wide range of temperatures and shear rates.
Features and Benefits :
- Simple, automated operation and data analysis :
- Complies with SAE J300 and ACEA specifications. Meets ASTM D4741 and correlates to ASTM D4683 with no bias
- Computer-controlled interface guides the operator through standardisation and testing
- On-board consistency calculator measures flow curve and computes results mechanically
- Facultative Model DR autosampler (with constitutionallaptop control) permits unattended testing of up to 22 samples
- Easy sample introduction - Fast and precise measurements :
- Total test time <5 minutes per sample
- Sample processing of >12 tests per hour
- 1% to 2% repeatability (increments) - Versatile check choices :
- Temperature range: 40°C to 180°C (adjustable in 0.1°C increments)
- Variable speed motor permits easy shear rate adjustment across a largevary (from 100,000 sec?1 to 2,000,000 sec?1)
- Customizable gap management - Compact, convenient design :
- No external utilities or high pressure gases are needed
- Instrument provides internal storage of measuring results and offers facultative LIMS property
- Facultative model DR autosampleroptions a in-built printer for hard-copy documentation of check results and permits unattended testing of up to 22 samples
