Key Features

Kinematic and dynamic viscosity, density, cloud point, freeze point, viscosity index (VI), and many other parameters are all determined in a single run by SVM. Exchange all your capillaries for a single device featuring an unbreakable metal measuring cell.

The SVM series offers unsurpassed flexibility, as its measuring cell covers the entire viscosity and temperature range relevant for petroleum products. Enjoy all the advantages of ASTM D7042, and report in both D7042 and D445 using the integrated bias corrections defined by ASTM.
