A fully automated, high-speed, solvent-free viscometer, UltraVIS 192 is used to efficiently test the kinematic viscosity of transparent and opaque liquids. Up to 24 samples can be processed unattended every hour on a 192-position sample handler.
UltraVIS 192 is designed for in-service oil viscosity, used oil analysis, fleet maintenance, and condition monitoring.
Features and Benefits
Precise, Robust Design
- A trusted CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support
- Capacity to run highly sooted samples, 200+ UFM
- At 100 °C, viscosity range is 5–50 mm2/s (cSt)
- At 40 °C, viscosity range is 30–680 mm2/s (cSt)*
Fast Analysis and Rapid Output
- High output and unattended operation with two 96-position replaceable sample trays
- High-speed analysis: commonly 2.5 minutes per test (192 samples per shift)
- Most ASTM D445 principles are adhered to but with shorter flow times to facilitate quick analysis
Fully Automated Benchtop Testing
- Stand-alone operation with USB port
- A single PC controls data for an infinite number of instruments for LIMS output
- FlowHub™ PC software, included with purchase, allows you to customize data for output
- Eliminates time-consuming processes like sample measuring and viscometer tube washing
Reduced Consumable Costs
- Uses low-cost HDPE sample vials
- Eliminates storage, handling, and disposal of solvents
- A solid bath design means no bath fluid needed
Easy Operation
- Intuitive user interface and data export features
- Uses industry standard 96-position trays; no need to transfer vials
- Distinguish samples phases from across the lab with easy to see multi-colored beacon light
*40 °C viscometer tube range is 30 to 300 mm²/s (cSt) but viscosity may be meaured up to 680 mm²/s (cSt).
