MINIVIS 445 Automatic Dynamic and Kinematic Viscometer
Vienna, Austria - December 17, 2007. Grabner Instruments (Austria) launches MINIVIS 445, an automatic, portable Micro-Viscometer for the determination of the viscosity of fuels, oils and petrochemical products, as well as other liquids such as milk or coffee cream.
MINIVIS 445 combines a falling ball viscometer with an advanced density meter, an automatic filling system and a very fast temperature control. The compact unit was designed for the precise determination of dynamic and kinematic viscosity over a wide temperature range and a viscosity range of 0.2 to 2000 cSt (mm2/s).
Built-in Peltier elements provide temperature control, eliminating the need for large water baths and allowing for quick determination of viscosity index, which is automatically measured and calculated. MINIVIS 445 is fully automated, portable and easy to operate, thus making the instrument the first choice for precise viscosity measurements in heavy duty environment and for applications in mobile laboratories.
The instrument incorporates reflection sensors which make it possible to cover a wider range of applications, from transparent to very opaque samples such as used or heavy oil. Its measurement cell is easily accessible, eliminating the cleaning problems associated with other viscometers. Users appreciate the unit's easy handling and automatic sample feeding.
