The CANNON® CAV® 4.2 is an automated, high throughput, dual-bath viscometer for ASTM D445. The CAV® 4.2 combines CANNON® quality and reliability with modern design and unique features to enhance lab productivity, reduce costs, and improve data quality.
Common Applications
Formulated oil analysis
Hydraulic oil analysis
Additive analysis
Marine fuel testing
Base stock analysis
Light and heavy fuel testing
Waxes/paraffin
Crude oil testing
Glycols
D445 precision in a modern, dependable design
Temperature range: 20 °C to 100 °C (15 °C to 150 °C with available options)
Viscosity range: 0.5 mm2/s to 10,000 mm2/s in 100-fold increments
Dual, independent modular baths provide easy maintenance access and simultaneous testing at two different temperatures
Two independent, fully-accessible sample handlers ensure reliable, unattended processing of up to 24 tests per hour
Fully self-contained bench-top unit with flexible connectivity
Simple, out-of-the-box installation. No external components required
35% smaller footprint conserves lab space
Professional installation, VISCPRO® data storage and management software, viscometer tubes, standards, and high precision digital thermometer are included with each instrument
A single unit can be run using the on-board computer, without need for an external PC, or a single PC can manage up to 4 units using VISCPRO® software
Reduced consumable costs
Tube design reduces solvent usage and disposal costs by 50%
Automated vial washing and drying reduces vial consumption and replaces manual washing
Easy change-out, versatile viscometer tubes
Operators replace tubes in minutes, eliminating the need to schedule related service calls
Single-point temperature calibration avoids tube recalibration costs and maximizes test flexibility
Status indicator bath lights
Colored lights provide a simple remote indication of operational status
Flexible sample handling
Multiple pre-defined/user-def
ines test methods can be run in the same sample tray
High throughput selective zone heative preheats individual samples to any temperature from ambient to 100 °C.
