CANNON Instrument Company Single-Bath Dilute Solution Polymer Viscometer miniPV®

For Dilute Solution Viscosity of Polymers in Organic Solvents and Aqueous Solutions miniPV® is a fully-automated, single sample, benchtop viscometer for testing dilute solution viscosity of polymers in organic solvents and aqueous solutions. The Ubbelohde-style tube covers a 100-fold viscosity range between 0.3 cSt and 5,000 cSt from 20 °C to 100 °C. Elastomers Plastics Thermoplastic elastomers Copolymers Biopolymers Polymer blends Oligomers Pre-polymers Resins Viscosity modifiers Designed to meet specific polymer industry needs Compatible with organic solvents and aqueous solutions On-board software with specialized polymer calculations determines relative, inherent, reduced, specific and intrinsic viscosity Superb temperature control (±0.01°C) from 20° C to 100 °C (with available options) Kinematic viscosity range: 0.3 mm²/s (cSt) to 5,000 mm²/s (cSt) in 100-fold increments. Special ranges available upon request. Compact, robust design Fits in roughly the same bench-top area as an analytical balance Conserves valuable lab space Proven CANNON® viscometer platform offers reliability and outstanding support Optional Peltier cooling is environmentally friendly and requires no external refrigeration Fully automated bench-top testing Software controls the instrument and facilitates tasks such as calibration, data entry, method specification, calculation selection, report formatting, and data exporting Single PC manages up to 4 instruments using VISCPRO® software Reduces operator to operator variability Reduced consumable costs ASTM D 446/ISO 3105 Ubbelohde-style tube reduces solvent usage and disposal costs by 50% Automated vial washing & drying reduces vial consumption and replaces manual washing Simplified maintenance & test versatility Modular bath for easy maintenance access Viscometer tube replacement completed in minutes Single-point temperature calibration avoids need for tube recalibration and maximizes test flexibility
