Ravenfield® BS/C+ HTHS Tapered Plug Viscometer
In stock
The Ravenfield® HTHS BS/C+ Viscometer by CANNON is a compact, high precision, tapered plug viscometer that measures the high temperature, high shear viscosity of engine lubricants and other oils according to ASTM D4741, CEC L-36-A-90 and IP 370 as specified by SAE J300 and ACEA. The Ravenfield BS/C+ Tapered Plug Viscometer also correlates to ASTM D4683 with no bias and is capable of testing across a wide range of temperatures and shear rates. Also available with an optional Model DR autosampler which permits the testing of up to 22 samples without operator intervention.
