HTHS : High-Temperature High-Shear Viscometers

The CANNON® High-Temperature High-Shear Capillary Viscometer (HTHS Series II) is designed to determine the viscosity of engine oils and other oils under conditions of high shear at high temperatures. The HTHS is capable of testing at 1.4 x 106s-1 at 150°C and meets all precision specifications of ASTM D 5481 and SAE J300. The Series II design incorporates simple one-button operation - just load samples, set pressure, and press the Start button. If desired, variable shear rates (± 30 percent of the shear rate specified in ASTM D 5481) may be obtained by altering the test pressure (variable from 75 to 500 psi). The viscosity range of 2-7 mPa.s can be extended to more than 20 mPa.s with custom configuration

CANNON CAV® 2000 Series Automatic Viscometers

The CANNON 2000 Series automatic viscometers are benchtop versions of the original CANNON Automatic Viscometer (CAV), the world's leading automatic viscometer for nearly 30 years, used by most major companies in the petroleum industry. 2000 Series instruments are now available in two models. The CAV-2100® features a single-bath modular construction with two viscometers per bath. The CAV-2200® features a dual-bath modular construction with a single viscometer in each bath. Most other specifications are identical for both models.
• Modular Bench top Unit (Small Footprint)
• Variable Temperature Selection from 20°C to 100°C (150°C with High-Temperature Option)
• Viscosity Range of 0.5 to 5000 cSt*
• ASTM D 445 Precision
• Powerful VISCPRO® forWindows® 98, 2000, NT, and XP® software
• CE Marked for Safe, Reliable Performance

CAV 4.2 Dual-Bath Kinematic Viscometer

• Viscosity range: 0.5 mm2/s to 10,000 mm2/s in 100-fold increments
• Dual, independent modular baths provide easy maintenance access and simultaneous testing at two different temperatures
• Two independent, fully-accessible sample handlers ensure reliable, unattended processing of up to 24 tests per hour

miniAV - Series

The miniAV® from CANNON Instrument Company offers every laboratory an exciting new tool for convenient and highly accurate kinematic viscosity (Kin Vis) measurement. Occupying roughly the same footprint as a tabletop rotational viscometer, the miniAV® automates the time-consuming sample measurement and viscometer tube wash/dry procedures associated with the ASTM D 445 method, freeing the laboratory technician for other duties.

PolyVisc

• Automatic glass capillary polymer viscosity analysis between 0.3 to 20,000 cSt*
• Compatible with most solvents used for polymer work
• Unique AIRBATH® technology - ultrastable thermostatic air chamber
• Temperatures from 20 to 100°C (135°C with High Temperature Option)
• VISCPRO® Windows® software calculates relative
• Viscosity, inherent viscosity, reduced viscosity, and intrinsic viscosity
• May also be used for other viscosity applications

miniPV® Series

The miniPV® from CANNON Instrument Company is an essential tool for the measurement of polymer solution viscosities. Its accuracy and convenience are based on the masterful design of temperature control, fluid handling, sensor technology, and automation. Complete control of the instrument is provided through VISCPRO II software (for Windows® 98/NT®/XP®)

Glass Capillary Viscometers

• The Cannon-Fenske Routine viscometer is a rugged and inexpensive viscometer that works well if the liquid to be measured is transparent or translucent

• The Ubbelohde viscometer and other suspended level viscometers are also used to measure transparent liquids. Unlike the Cannon-Fenske Routine viscometer, suspended level viscometers possess the same viscometer constant at all temperatures.

• Special reverse flow viscometers have been designed for testing opaque liquids. Reverse flow viscometers wet the timing section of the viscometer capillary only during the actual measurement. The Cannon-Fenske Opaque, Zeitfuchs Cross-Arm, and BS/IP/RF U-Tube viscometers are all reverse flow types

• When liquids are too viscous to flow readily under gravity, vacuum viscometers may be used to measure viscosity (in mPa.s or cP). In these instruments a vacuum is applied to one end of the viscometer to pull the liquid through the capillary into the timing bulb(s). CANNON offers several types of vacuum viscometers, including the Cannon-Manning Vacuum, the Asphalt Institute Vacuum, and the Modified Koppers Vacuum.
