Laboratory viscometer
This is a high-performance viscometer used for research and development. It is ideal for measuring the viscosity of various fluids, from small quantities to high temperatures and pressures, and it has high reliability.
CVI Corporation is a specialized manufacturer of viscometers. CVI has developed numerous products to accommodate various applications. The measurement principle is based on a falling body method, where a piston moves within a cylinder, and the time taken to move is measured as viscosity by sequentially energizing two coils. The fluid is drawn into and expelled from the cylinder by the movement of this piston. As a result, the cylinder, which serves as the measurement chamber, is constantly refreshed with fluid, maintaining a fresh state. For laboratory use, we offer a small-volume viscometer that requires only 2ml of sample volume, as well as instruments capable of measuring the viscosity of a wide range of fluids up to temperatures of 185°C and pressures of 131MPa. In addition to laboratory models, CVI also manufactures a variety of process models using the same measurement principle, facilitating future expansion into process applications.
basic information
The products are designed for use in laboratories, allowing for compact measurements to be taken in a short time without requiring specialized operation. When sample liquids are expensive, measuring small quantities is extremely effective, and the adoption of CVI products in the pharmaceutical field is steadily increasing. Additionally, by measuring the viscosity of the fluid simultaneously with the fluid temperature during measurement, the output is provided as a temperature-corrected value, resulting in highly effective data.
