miniAV® -X | Single-Bath, Benchtop Kinematic Viscometer

The CANNON^®miniAV-X is anautomated, benchtop viscometer with a single bath and 10-position sample handler for unattended ASTM D445 processing.

The miniAV-X complies with ASTM D445/D446,IP 71,and ISO 3104/3105 for various applications in formulation, refining processes, blending, and final specification testing.

Features and Benefits

D445 Precision in a Compact, Robust Design

Occupies the same benchtop space as an analytical balance

Temperature range is from40 to 100 °C (15 to 40 °C with cooling option)

Viscosity range is from 0.5 to 6000 mm²/second (cSt) in 100-fold increments (depending on viscometer tube selection);* fast-run tubes also available

Optional eco-friendly Peltier cooling does not need external refrigeration

Fully Automated Benchtop Testing

Automated testing decreases operator-to-operator variability and provides a substitute for labor-intensive manual testing

Reports can be customized by the user andprinted, saved, orexported

Up to 12 determinations/hour of reliable, unattended processing is made possible with a fully accessible 10-position sample handler

A single PC can manageup to four instruments, thanks to included VISCPRO^® PC software

100-fold tubes easily cover the range of five separate manual viscometers

Reduced Consumable Costs

Automated vial cleaning and drying encourages the reuse of vials, lowering vial consumption

Ubbelohde-style tubes cutexpenses and solvent consumption by 50% over previous models

Simplified Maintenance and Test Versatility

Single-point temperature calibration optimizes flexibility and removes the expense of tube recalibration

Easy maintenance access with modular bath design

Standard dual solvent input included

Operators can replace tubes in a matter of minutes, eliminating the need for related service calls

A trusted CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support

*Test temperature and sample type could have an impact on some upper viscosity measurements.
