miniPV®-H/miniPV-HX | Automated Dilute Solution/Kinematic Viscometer

The CANNON®miniPV-H and miniPV-HX are automated, benchtop viscometers—compatible with aggressive/corrosive solvents—for dilute solution viscosity (DSV) of polymers and kinematic viscosity (KV) for general purpose applications.

Features and Benefits

Designed For Your Testing Needs

On-board software calculates molecular weight in addition to dynamic (with optional density meter), inherent, intrinsic, reduced, and specific viscosity

Excellent temperature control (±0.01°C) from 15 to 100 °C with integrated TEcooling

DSV viscosity range from0.3 to 700 mm²/s (cSt)

KV viscosity range from 0.02 to 1,200 mm²/s (cSt)

A trusted CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support

Robust Design

Withstands corrosive solvents and acids

Results unaffected by fillers

10x less sensitive to moisture content

Compact to conserve space

Sealed System

Allows for measurement of atmospherically sensitive and volatile samples

Minimizes expose of operator to harmful chemicals

Eliminates sample evaporation

Fully Automated

Lowers operator-to-operator variability

Runs up to 10 samples unattended

Automated washing and drying replaces manual tube cleaning

Software controls the instrument and simplifies calibration, data entry, method selection, calculation selection, report formatting, and data exporting

Using VISCPRO^®software, one PC can manage up to four instruments
