U-Visc Kinematic Viscometer

The U-Visc Kinematic Viscometer is an advanced, fully automatic viscosity measurement system designed for precision and efficiency in industrial automation and robotics-integrated laboratory settings. Complying with ASTM D445, it combines high throughput, minimal solvent consumption, and easy operation, making it ideal for quality control, R&D, and used oil analysis. Its innovative Ubbelohde-based viscometer tubes allow reliable measurements over a wide viscosity range with outstanding temperature control and reproducibility.

• Fully automatic operation with autosampling carousel

• High-precision viscosity measurement from 0.15 to 25,000 mm²/s

• Dual solvent cleaning system for cross-contamination prevention

• Flexible sampling through vacuum or pressure introduction

• Energy-efficient design for industrial automation environments

• Easy exchange of viscometer tubes for minimal downtime

• Meets all relevant international standards (ASTM, ISO, DIN, EN)

• Compact, modular configuration for easy integration into laboratory or robotic systems

The U-Visc is engineered for a wide range of applications, from petroleum and lubricant analysis to academic research and industrial automation. It is suitable for testing fuels, base oils, formulated lubricants, and petrochemical samples. Industries that benefit include refineries, additive manufacturers, condition monitoring laboratories, research facilities, and quality control centres. Its flexible sampling and temperature control make it suitable for use with dilute solutions, industrial oils, and other petroleum-based products.

The U-Visc system is controlled via dedicated PC software compatible with Windows 7 or higher, offering comprehensive data management, process monitoring, and reporting functions. It allows multiple instruments to be managed from one PC, ensuring scalability for automated laboratories. Data can be easily exported via USB or RS-232C connection, and the interface supports seamless integration with laboratory information management systems (LIMS).
