CAV® 4.1 Single-Bath Benchtop Kinematic Viscometer

The CAV 4.1 replaces CANNON's trusted, obsolete CAV-2100 viscometer.

In stock

This is non stock item.

CANNON® CAV® 4.1 is a fully automated, single bath, benchtop viscometer with two 14-position sample handlers for unattended D445 processing. Each of the two 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 with optional integral bath cooler).

The CAV 4.1 replaces CANNON's trusted, obsolete CAV-2100 viscometer.

Conforms to ASTM D445/446. Common applications include formulated oil analysis, hydraulic oil analysis, additive analysis, marine fuel testing, base stock analysis, light and heavy fuel testing, waxes/paraffin, crude oil testing, and glycols/polyols.

Features and Benefits

D445 precision in a modern, dependable design

Standard temperature range: 40 °C to 150 °C (down to 20 °C with TE bath cooler option)
Viscosity range: 0.5 mm²/s (cSt) to 10,000 mm²/s (cSt) in 100-fold increments* (easily covering the range of 5 separate manual glass viscometers)
Two fully accessible, 14-position sample handlers ensure reliable, unattended processing of up to 24 determinations per hour
Removable carousels
Automation provides an alternative to labor-intensive manual testing and reduces operator to operator variability
A trusted CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support

Compact & self-contained with flexible configuration

Simple, out-of-the-box installation
35% smaller footprint than CAV-2000 series, conserves lab space
Onboard computer permits running pre-programmed test parameters to be run without an external PC
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

Next generation Atlantic-style tubes reduce solvent usage and disposal costs by 50% over larger predecessor tubes
Automated vial washing and drying enables reuse and reduces vial consumption

Simplified maintenance and test versatility

Modular chassis design for easy maintenance access
Operators can physically replace tubes in minutes, eliminating the need for related service calls
Colored status indicator bath lights provide a simple indication of operational status
Run multiple predefined/user-defined test methods within the same sample tray
High throughput with optional sample preheating, capable of reaching 135 °C
Instrument includes standard dual-solvent input

*Some upper viscosity measurements may be limited by test temperature and sample type. Ubbelohde-style tubes (for volatile products that are not a pure solvent and high melt waxes) are also available in 100-fold increments and fast run 10-fold increments from 0.5 mm²/s (cSt) to 10,000 mm²/s (cSt).
