The LAUDA PVS

With the modular concept of the Processor viscosity measuring system PVS 1, measuring routines can be performed efficiently, quickly, safely, and with good reproducibility. It enables the automatic determination of kinematic viscosities using standardised capillary viscometers and an optimum adaptation to the requirements of the application with respect to sample through put and automation.

This unique modular system allows individual configuration of measuring systems, from one to four to even eight measuring stands, with automatic cleaning or automatic sample generator. We present four design examples below.

Design Examples:

• PVS1 with one measuring stand and manual cleaning
• PVS1 for intrinsic viscosities (Staudinger Index) using serial dilution
• PVS1 with one measuring stand and automatic cleaning
• PVS1 with four measuring stand and automatic cleaning
• Chlorine analysis with ground breaking technology (patent pending)

Plastics:

• Determination of relative, reduced and intrinsic viscosities as a measure of the mean molecular weight and thus the length of the polymers, which is decisive for quality.

Lubricants, oils, fuels:

• Determination of the viscosity including its temperature dependence and the viscosity index according to ASTM and ISO standards.

Enzyme activities:

• Determination of the reaction activity.

Cellulose:

• Determination of the chain length of base materials for technical papers and textiles or the change in the polymer length over various processing steps and through wear.
