VISCOLAB 4000 LABORATORY VISCOMETER

FOR VISCOSITY MEASUREMENTS FROM 0.2 TO 20,000 CENTIPOISE



Cambridge Applied Systems?most advanced sensor and electronics give the new ViscoLab 4000 power to measure an exceptional range of fluids and viscosities with one lab instrument.

Key Features

  • Requires less than 2mL of fluid
  • Simple to use, easy to clean
  • Minimum bench space required
  • Digital displays centipoise or centistokes
  • Digital temperature display in °F or °C
  • RS232 interface
  • Stores up to 40 Product specific test setups
  • Optional liquid recirculating jacket and cap
  • Standard deviation of sample readings for enhanced repeatability

Operating Principle

The ViscoLab 4000 contains a piston-style electromagnetic sensor and RTD that provides continuous viscosity, temperature and temperature compensated viscosity (TCV) readings.

Measurements can be made in any of thirteen 20:1 viscosity ranges and temperature can be displayed in °C or °F.

The optional liquid circulating jacket permits operation from -40°C to -110°C. Multiple operating ranges and product setups can be precalibrated.

Data can be output to a PC, via the RS232 serial port for tracking, storage or graphical display. The electronics allow the user to define temperature and viscosity display units, data averaging interval, and much more. The electronics also provides digital readings, as well as, statistics on sample stability that allow greater repeatability between tests and operators.
