MINIAV-X Single Tank Cannon Viscometer

Cannon MINIAV-X Single-Bath Kinematic Viscometer

Compact and Automated Solution for Kinematic Viscosity Testing

Product Description

The MINIAV-X Single Tank Cannon Viscometer is a fully automated, benchtop instrument engineered for precise and reliable kinematic viscosity measurement. Utilizing a single-bath system and an Ubbelohde-style viscometer tube, MINIAV-X Single Tank Cannon Viscometer offers accurate readings across a wide range of viscosities from 0.5 mm²/s (cSt) to 6,000 mm²/s (cSt). The MINIAV-X is designed for laboratories needing a compact and user-friendly solution that meets ASTM D445/D446 and ISO 3104/3105 standards.

This instrument is ideal for low- to mid-volume labs seeking automation without sacrificing precision. With integrated features such as internal heated waste lines and dual solvent input, the MINIAV-X ensures a clean and efficient operation. An optional thermoelectric cooler expands the temperature range down to 15 °C, making it highly versatile for various testing environments.
