Overview

SimpleVIS Portable Automated Kinematic Viscometer

Details

SimpleVIS® is a single sample, portable viscometer for on-site testing. With near D445 precision, it is easy to use, rugged and fast. Available viscometer tubes cover a viscosity range of 2 mm²/s (cSt) to 700 mm²/s (cSt) at two selected temperatures between 40 °C and 100 °C.

COMMON APPLICATIONS

Product chain of custody monitoring
Contamination checks
Point of use testing
Industrial lube blending
Packaging & distribution of petroleum products
Petroleum terminals
Remote used oil predictive maintenance
Power plant applications
Remote mining applications

Features and Benefits

Automated and precise determination of direct kinematic viscosity at 40 °C and 100 °C*

Provides true kinematic viscosity measurement without the need to correlate dynamic viscosity data
Viscosity range:
- Standard range tube provides viscosities from 10 mm²/s (cSt) to 700 mm²/s (cSt) at 40 °C and 5.5 mm²/s (cSt) to 200 mm²/s (cSt) at 100 °C
- Low range tube provides viscosities from 2 mm²/s (cSt) to 140 mm²/s (cSt) at 40 °C and 100 °C
Follows ASTM D7279 and offers near ASTM D445 precision due to exceptional temperature control (±0.05 °C)
Rapid cycle time of 3 to 5 minutes from sample injection to test result

Portable, self-contained and dependable

Weighs approximately 10 lb and takes up less space than a coffee maker
Does not require a PC or any external utilities
Optional power inverter enables the instrument to run off of a 12 Vdc vehicle charging port
Rugged, reliable design has only two moving parts

Simple & safe operation

Graphical touch screen display provides step by step test instructions
Factory calibrated; no switches, gauges, or valves to adjust
Solid-state bath eliminates need for liquid bath
Intrinsically safe unit operates on 12 Vdc power
Optional printer available

Economical

Low cost of ownership
Requires only 10 mL to 15 mL of solvent and 0.5 mL of sample per test
No sample vials required; sample is injected directly into the instrument

*The unit can store two temperatures and is pre-calibrated to 40 °C and 100 °C but custom calibration at any two temperatures between 40 °C and 100 °C is available on request
