CAV 4.2 DUAL-BATH KINEMATIC VISCOMETER Cannon

CAV 4.2 Dual-Bath Kinematic Viscometer Cannon

Product Description

The CANNON CAV 4.2 is a fully automated dual-bath benchtop kinematic viscometer designed to provide high-throughput, unattended viscosity testing according to ASTM D445. Each bath is equipped with a 14-position sample handler, enabling a total capacity of 28 automated sample positions. The system is engineered for precision and efficiency in routine laboratory environments, offering 24 tests per hour with reliable performance across a wide range of viscosities and temperatures.

This dual-bath model supports viscosity measurements from 0.5 mm²/s to 10,000 mm²/s, spanning a 100-fold range per tube. Operating temperatures range from 15 °C to 150 °C, making it suitable for both low- and high-temperature applications. It is an ideal solution for laboratories needing high sample throughput with minimal operator intervention.
