Vibrating viscometer SV-A series

laboratory

The Tuning Fork Vibro Viscometer, the SV-A Series, is a solution to the excessive use of expensive sample fluids during viscosity measurements. This new viscometer can perform viscosity measurements with sample liquid as small as 2ml (SV-1A). The SV-A Series incorporates the tuning fork vibro method. Unlike a rotational viscometer, which requires several different rotors to cover a wide range of measurements, the tuning fork vibro viscometer is capable of using the same, fixed sensor plates to perform continuous measurements from very low to high viscosity [SV-1A: 0.3 to 1000mPa.s (cP), SV-10A: 0.3 to 10000mPa.s (cP), SV-100A: 1000 to 100000mPa.s (cP)]. The SV-A Series has a temperature sensor (0 to 160˚C) right next to the viscosity sensor plates: it is widely known that viscosity is very temperature dependent (−2 to −10%/˚C) and this feature enables you to easily monitor the relationship between viscosity and temperature. In addition, the SV-A Series also comes with dedicated software WinCT-Viscosity, which receives viscosity and temperature data from the SV-A Series and creates a graph on a PC in real time. Consequently, changes in viscosity and temperature over time as well as the correlation between viscosity and temperature can be observed visually. Further, the SV-A Series features very quick measurement (the initial viscosity coefficient is indicated just 15 seconds after starting the measurement), extremely high precision (repeatability is only 1% of the measured value), and a simplified calibration function (a one-key operation that utilizes purified water), etc. Please see the Users Handbook for the SV Series for further details.
