S V Instruments offers a comprehensive range in viscosity analysis. Be it a viscometer needed in your laboratory or online measurement of viscosity of your product in the process line. You want to measure viscosity index of oils or want to measure relative viscosity of your polymer we have a solution for you. You may need viscometer for a couple of sample a day or more than 100 samples a day we can offer you the correct configuration for your need. We offer viscometer for complex samples like Bitumen or Chocolate also. So just let us know your requirement and we will provide you the solution. And we offer instruments which never compromise with the quality of measurement.
Accurate and standard-compliant
Glass capillary viscometers are available in various designs, which differ with respect to application area, accuracy and operation. As of now, they can be supplied by LAUDA in the Ubbelohde, Cannon-Fenske, Micro-Ostwald and special designs. For high-precision, automatic measuring, the Ubbelohde version with the suspended level is used by preference, among other reasons because the flow time is independent of the precise sample volume. To keep the measuring times within the optimum range between approx. 60 and 600 s, different capillary diameters are supplied to cover the complete viscosity range. The procedure, particularly with automatic LAUDA measuring technology and precise temperature control using LAUDA clear-view thermostats, is unrivalled in terms of accuracy for measuring liquids with nearly Newtonian (ideal) flow properties.
Application examples:
- Determining the viscosity number, intrinsic viscosity (average molar mass) and other parameters of technical polymers such as PA, PET, PBT, PE, PP and PVC in accordance with EN-ISO 1628, ISO 307 for the quality control of plastics
- Measuring absolute viscosities of engine oils and other lubricants in accordance with ASTM D445, viscosity index in accordance with ISO 2909 at 40 °C and 100 °C
Fully automatic, space-saving, mobile and easy to operate
The new LAUDA iVisc is a capillary viscometer for the automatic measurement and evaluation of kinematic viscosity in accordance with DIN 51562 and ASTM D445. Furthermore, it opens up the possibility of calculating polymer data, e.g. SV-, IV- and K-values and the dynamic viscosities of oils, lubricants and beverages.
The iVisc can be employed in any test laboratory where viscosity values have to be determined. Other wide-ranging application examples can be found in quality control in polymer manufacture, in compounding and in the manufacture of plastic prefabricated parts.
Application examples:
- Determining the viscosity number, intrinsic viscosity (average molar mass) and other parameters of technical polymers such as PA, PET, PBT, PE, PP and PVC in accordance with EN-ISO 1628, ISO 307 for the quality control of plastics
- Measuring absolute viscosities of engine oils and other lubricants in accordance with ASTM D445, viscosity index in accordance with ISO 2909 at 40 °C and 100 °C
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)
