SINGLE BATH KINEMATIC VISCOMETER FOR ASTM D445/446 TESTING OF TRANSPARENT AND OPAQUE LIQUIDS
The CANNON CAV 4.1 is a fully-automated, single bath, benchtop kinematic viscometer with two 14-position sample handlers for unattended ASTM D445/446 testing. Each of the two Ubbelohde-style tubes covers a 100-fold viscosity range at values between 0.5 mm2/s (cSt) and 10,000 mm2/s (cSt) from 40 °C to 150 °C (down to 20 °C requires TE cooling option). The CAV 4.1 replaces the older trusted CAV-2100 model.
The CAV 4.1 replaces CANNON's trusted, obsolete CAV-2100 viscometer.

Features & Beneits :
D445 precision in a modern, dependable design
- Standard temperature range: 40 °C to 150 °C (down to 20 °C with optional, integral TE bath cooler)
- Viscosity range: 0.5 mm2/s (cSt) to 10,000 mm2/s (cSt)* in 100-fold increments (easily covering the range of five separate manual glass viscometers)
- Two fully accessible 14-position sample handlers ensure reliable, unattended processing of up to 24 determinations per hour
Compact & self-contained with flexible configuration
- 35% smaller footprint compared to the CAV-2000 series conserves lab space, with simple out-of-the-box installation
- VISCPRO? PC software enables programming of user-defined test methods, and permits one PC to manage and control up to four instruments
- View, print, save and export user-configurable reports
Reduced consumable costs
- ASTM D446/ISO 3105 Ubbelohde-style tubes reduce solvent usage and disposal costs by 50% over larger Atlantic-style tubes
- Automated vial washing and drying enables reuse and reduces vial consumption
Simplified maintenance & test versatility
- Modular chassis design for easy maintenance access
- Operators can physically replace tubes in minutes, eliminating the need for related service calls
- Single-point temperature calibration maximizes flexibility and avoids tube recalibration costs
