CAV® 4.2 DUAL-BATH KINEMATIC VISCOMETER

In stock

This is non stock item.

CAV 4.2 is a fully automated, dual-bath, benchtop viscometer with two 14-position sample handlers for unattended D445 processing. Each of the two tubes (one per bath) covers a 100-fold viscosity range at values between 0.5 mm²/s (cSt) and 10,000 mm²/s (cSt) from 15 °C to 150 °C (with available options).

Common Applications include formulated oil analysis, hydraulic oil analysis, additive analysis, marine fuel testing, base stock analysis, light and heavy fuel testing, waxes/paraffin, and crude oil testing.

Features and Benefits

D445 precision in a modern, dependable design

Temperature range: ambient to 100 °C (15 °C to 150 °C with available bath options)
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)
Dual, independent baths enable simultaneous testing at two different temperatures
Two fully accessible, 14-position sample handlers ensure reliable, unattended processing of up to 24 determinations per hour
Automation provides an alternative to labor-intensive manual testing and reduces operator to operator variability
A well tested CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support

Compact & self-contained with flexible configuration

Simple, out-of-the-box installation
35% smaller footprint conserves lab space
Optional, environmentally-friendly Peltier cooling requires no external refrigeration
An onboard computer permits preprogrammed 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
User-configurable reports may be viewed, printed, saved, and exported

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 bath for easy maintenance access
Operators physically replace tubes in minutes, eliminating the need for related service calls
Colored status indicator bath lights provide a simple indication of operational status
Multiple predefined/user-defined test methods can be run within the same sample tray
High throughput, selective zone heating of individual samples to temperatures from ambient to 100 °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).
