For Rapid Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opague Liquids with Near ASTM 445 Precision
miniQV®-X is a fully automated, single-bath, benchtop viscometer for rapid kinematic viscosity measurement. A 25-position sample handler allows unattended processing. The fast-run tube covers a 10-fold viscosity range between 5 mm²/s (cSt) and 800 mm²/s (cSt) from 40 °C to 100 °C. Offering near-D445 precision, the miniQV-X has been optimized for condition monitoring of used oils.
Common Applications
In-service oil viscosity
Used oil analysis
Fleet maintenance
Condition monitoring
Compact, robust design
Temperature range: ambient to 100 °C (± 0.01 °C)
Kinematic viscosity range:
5 mm²/s (cSt) to 800 mm²/s (cSt) in 10-fold increments at 40 °C
5 mm²/s (cSt) to 50 mm²/s (cSt) in 10-fold increments at 100 °C
Fits in roughly the same benchtop area as an analytical balance
A well tested CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support
High speed analysis
Analysis time: typically 3 minutes or less per test
25-position removable sample handler provides unattended operation
Follows most ASTM D445 principles but with shorter flow times to accommodate rapid analysis
Fully automated benchtop testing
Affordable alternative to labor-intensive manual KV testing
Automates labor intensive tasks of sample measurement and viscometer tube washing and drying
Single PC manages up to 4 instruments using VISCPRO® software
Reduced consumable costs
ASTM D446/ISO 3105 fast run Ubbelohde-style tube reduces solvent usage/disposal costs
Low sample volume requirement of just 4 mL to 5 mL per test and solvent consumption of just 8 mL per test
Uses disposable, low-cost HDPE sample vials
Simplified maintenance & test versatility
Modular bath for easy maintenance access
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
Standard dual solvent input
