miniPV®-X Automated Dilute Solution/Kinematic Viscometer
In stock
miniPV-X is a fully automated, single-bath, benchtop viscometer with a 10-position sample handler for unattended processing and testing in organic solvents and aqueous solutions for dilute solution viscosity of polymers and kinematic viscosity for general purpose applications.
Viscosity range for dilute solution viscosity is 0.3 mm2/s (cSt) to 700 mm2/s (cSt)* and for kinematic viscosity 0.02 mm2/s (cSt) to 1,200 mm2/s (cSt)* at 15 °C to 100 °C.
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.
*Upper viscosity measurements may be limited by test temperature and sample type.
Designed to meet your viscosity testing needs
- On-board software with specialized polymer calculations determines inherent, intrinsic, kinematic, reduced, relative, and specific viscosity, as well as, molecular weight
- Integrated TE cooling provides superb temperature control from 15 °C to 100 °C
- Dilute solution polymer viscosity range: 0.3 mm²/s (cSt) to 700 mm²/s (cSt); both single range and special dual range viscometer tubes are available*
- Kinematic viscosity range: 0.02 mm²/s (cSt) to 1,200 mm²/s (cSt)*
Compact,robust design
- Fits in roughly the same benchtop area as an analytical balance to conserve valuable lab space
- Sealed system allows for measurement of atmospherically sensitive and volatile samples
- Compatible with most aggressive aqueous, aqueous, caustic, halogenated, organic, and salt solutions
Fully automated benchtop testing
- Software controls the instrument and facilitates tasks such as calibration, data entry, method specification, calculation selection, report formatting, and data exporting
- Single PC manages up to 4 instruments using VISCPRO® software
- Reduces operator to operator variability
- Replaces manual tube cleaning with automated washing and drying
Simplified maintenance & test versatility
- Modular bath for easy maintenance access
- Operators physically replace tubes in minutes, eliminating the need to schedule related service calls
- Single-point temperature calibration avoids need for tube recalibration and maximizes test flexibility
- Standard dual solvent input
