Diehm, manufacturers of glass reaction and distillation systems and plain or jacketed vessels in flat or round bottom designs has appointed Labtex as its UK representative
The new instrument stands just over 60 cm tall and occupies roughly the same footprint as a tabletop rotational viscometer.
The miniAV has a built-in temperature bath that control precision demanded by ASTM D 445, the kinematic viscosity method.
The new instrument features a compound Ubbelohde-style viscometer tube with a 100- fold range.
Sample volume required for testing is only 6ml.
A ten-fold range "fast-run" tube requiring only three ml of sample is also available.
Pat Maggi, President of Cannon Instrument Company, said that the miniAV had been developed to provide "an affordable automated kinematic viscometer for those users who have been unable to automate their manual viscosity testing due to the high entry cost of traditional automatic viscometers".
Maggi said the miniAV would be introduced to the market at about half the price of the fully automatic CAV 2000 Series viscometers manufactured by Cannon. Request a free brochure from Labtex ...
