High Speed Viscometer
Model HSV 802
"A fast, cost-effective instrument for the measurement of kinematic viscosity of used oils and other fluids."
The Spectro Inc. High Speed Viscometer (HSV) was designed by people in the used oil analysis business for people in the used oil analysis business. It provides the used oil analysis laboratory with a cost effective, fast and accurate semi-automatic viscosity measurement. By combining established principles of viscosity measurement, the HSV provides automatic measurements at 40°C and 100°C to yield the true viscosity index; a valuable tool for the determination of lubricant condition.
The HSV is ideal for used oil analysis laboratories needing to test a wide range of lubricant viscosities. Each HSV contains 4 pairs of capillary tubes. Each pair makes a low temperature and a high temperature measurement. There is no need to change capillary tubes, and typically 48 samples can be analyzed per hour at two temperatures. The through-put can be doubled to 96 samples per hour for applications where measurements at only one temperature are necessary. The HSV requires only a small amount of sample, less than 1 milliliter of fluid per capillary tube.
The HSV is accurate and utilizes built-in diagnostics to monitor all measurement functions. Two measurements are made at each temperature as the sample flows through each capillary tube. The measurements must closely agree, otherwise the sample is rejected. Incorrect results due to particles, dirty capillary tubes, bubbles, water and dissolved gases are thus not reported. Typical problems such as cleaning and plugged capillary tubes are also detected.
The High Speed Viscometer, Model HSV 802 provides the used oil analysis laboratory with accurate trouble-free operation and the throughput required for an efficient and quality conscious laboratory.
