The CANNON® miniPV-H and miniPV-HX are automated, benchtop viscometers—compatible with aggressive/corrosive solvents—for dilute solution viscosity (DSV) of polymers and kinematic viscosity (KV) for general purpose applications.
Features and Benefits
Designed For Your Testing Needs
- On-board software calculates molecular weight in addition to dynamic (with optional density meter), inherent, intrinsic, reduced, and specific viscosity
- Excellent temperature control (±0.01°C) from 15 to 100 °C with integrated TE cooling
- DSV viscosity range from 0.3 to 700 mm2/s (cSt)
- KV viscosity range from 0.02 to 1,200 mm2/s (cSt)
- A trusted CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support
Robust Design
- Withstands corrosive solvents and acids
- Results unaffected by fillers
- 10x less sensitive to moisture content
- Compact to conserve space
Sealed System
- Allows for measurement of atmospherically sensitive and volatile samples
- Minimizes expose of operator to harmful chemicals
- Eliminates sample evaporation
Fully Automated
- Lowers operator-to-operator variability
- Runs up to 10 samples unattended
- Automated washing and drying replaces manual tube cleaning
- Software controls the instrument and simplifies calibration, data entry, method selection, calculation selection, report formatting, and data exporting
- Using VISCPRO® software, one PC can manage up to four instruments
Highly Sensitive
- Reliably measures viscosities less than water
Accurate Measurements
- 25x greater viscosity accuracy
- 4x more accurate molecular weight determinations
Simplified Maintenance & Test Versatility
- Modular bath allows easy access for maintenance
- Viscometer tube can be replaced by operator in just a few minutes
- Standard dual solvent input
- Single-point temperature calibration eliminates tube recalibration and maximizes test versatility
