miniAV® Single-Bath Kinematic Viscometer
In stock
The CANNON miniAV® is a fully automated, single-sample, benchtop viscometer for D445 testing. The Ubbelohde-style tube covers a 100-fold viscosity range at values between 0.5 mm²/s (cSt) and 10,000 mm²/s (cSt) from 15 °C to 100 °C (with available options). Meets ASTM D446/ISO 3105 requirements.
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.
Protect your investment and ensure your instrument continues to provide quality and reliable results for years to come with a CANNON Service Plan.
Factory installation of this unit is required. If factory installation is waived, only parts are covered during the warranty period. Damage occurring from incorrect installation is not covered by warranty.
D445 precision in a compact, robust design
- Temperature range: ambient to 100 °C (15 °C to 100 °C with available TE cooler)
- 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)
- Fits in roughly the same benchtop area as an analytical balance
- Optional environmentally friendly Peltier cooling requires no external refrigeration
- A well tested CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support
Fully automated benchtop testing
- Automation provides an alternative to labor-intensive manual testing and reduces operator to operator variability
- Up to 12 determinations/hour
- VISCPRO® PC software enables one PC to manage and control up to four instruments
- User-configurable reports may be viewed,printed,saved and exported
Reduced consumable costs
- ASTM D446/ISO 3105 Ubbelohde-style tube reduces solvent usage and disposal costs by 50%
- Automated vial washing & drying enables reuse and reduces vial consumption
Simplified maintenance & test versatility
- Modular bath for easy maintenance access
- Operators physically replace tubes in minutes,eliminating the need for related service calls
- Single-point temperature calibration avoids tube recalibration costs and maximizes flexibility
- Instrument includes standard dual-solvent input
*Some upper viscosity measurements may be limited by test temperature and sample type. Fast run (10-fold range) tubes are also available.
