BitUVisc Kinematic Viscometer


The BitUVisc is a fully automatic and programmable kinematic viscometer designed for analyzing highly viscous samples at elevated temperatures. Capable of measuring viscosities up to 120,000 mm²/s and operating at temperatures up to 150°C, it complies with ASTM D445, D446, D2170, and AASHTO T201 standards.
Available in two models — BitUVisc 110 (single tube) and BitUVisc 120 (dual tube) — this system features auto-sampling, preheating, and automatic dual-solvent cleaning and drying for optimal efficiency and precision.
-
Fully automatic and programmable operation
