miniQV®-X SINGLE-BATH KINEMATIC VISCOMETER
In stock
The miniQV®-X is a fully automated, single-bath, benchtop viscometer for rapid kinematic viscosity measurement of transparent and opaque liquids with ASTM D445 precision capability. A 25-position sample handler allows unattended processing. The fast-run tube covers a 10-fold viscosity range between 5 mm²/s (cSt) and 800 mm²/s (cSt) from 40 °C to 100 °C. The miniQV-X has been optimized for condition monitoring of used oils.
Protect your investment and ensure your instrument continues to provide quality and reliable results for years to come with a CANNON Service Plan.
Compact, robust design
- Temperature range: ambient to 100 °C (± 0.01 °C)
- Kinematic viscosity range:
- 5 mm²/s (cSt) to 800 mm²/s (cSt) in 10-fold increments at 40 °C
- 5 mm²/s (cSt) to 50 mm²/s (cSt) in 10-fold increments at 100 °C
- Fits in roughly the same benchtop area as an analytical balance
- A well tested CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support
High speed analysis
- Analysis time: typically 3 minutes or less per test
- 25-position removable sample handler provides unattended operation
- Follows most ASTM D445 principles but with shorter flow times to accommodate rapid analysis
Fully automated benchtop testing
- Affordable alternative to labor-intensive manual Kinematic Viscosity testing
- Automates labor intensive tasks of sample measurement and viscometer tube washing and drying
- Single PC manages up to 4 instruments using VISCPRO® software
Reduced consumable costs
- ASTM D446/ISO 3105 fast run Ubbelohde-style tube reduces solvent usage/disposal costs
- Low sample volume requirement of just 4 mL to 5 mL per test and solvent consumption of just 8 mL per test
- Uses disposable, low-cost HDPE sample vials
Simplified maintenance & test versatility
- Modular bath for easy maintenance access
- Operators replace tubes in minutes, eliminating the need to schedule related service calls
- Single-point temperature calibration avoids tube recalibration costs and maximizes test flexibility
- Standard dual solvent input
