Viscometer ( ASTM D445 )
Viscometer ( ASTM D445 ) Description
The KV-2 is a two-place low-temperature viscosity bath designed to achieve ultra-high stability in the temperature range of +20 °C to -40 °C. The bath offers high stability of ±0.01 °C at -20 °C. Temperature is measured by a PT100 probe, while a twin display shows the current and set temperature.
This highly efficient automatic viscometer system features a small footprint and is ideally suited for busy laboratories. It is fully self-contained and requires no external chillers or connections. A heated top plate and viewing window prevent condensation and ice formation. The easy-to-use controller features large 13 mm digits, and high-intensity, long-life ultra-bright LED lighting ensures clear bath visibility at all times. When configured with automated timing systems, it operates as a high-precision automatic kinematic viscometer, delivering reliable and repeatable testing cycles. For laboratories seeking this state-of-the-art testing technology, working with an established automatic viscometer supplier ensures complete procurement support and technical service across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain.
