Determine Kinematic Viscosity, Density and Dynamic Viscosity of Your Sample in One Fast Measurement

Anton Paar’s (Austria) SVM 3000 viscometer allows for simultaneous determination of both dynamic viscosity and density as well as calculation of kinematic viscosity from just 2.5 mL of sample. One combined measuring cell covers the entire measuring range for viscosity, density and temperature and is filled in one go. Due to its measuring principle, the measurement duration is independent of the sample’s viscosity.

The cell can be filled and rinsed manually with a syringe or fully automatically in combination with a sample changer. With density predetermination and the “ultra-fast” measuring mode, up to 30 samples per hour can be measured.

SVM™ 3000 requires only low solvent and sample amounts, therefore saving the operator’s time and resources. SVM™ 3000 does not use a thermostat bath; it has a highly precise Peltier temperature control with stability of 0.005 °C. This makes temperature changes fast and very accurate. With heating rates of up to 15 °C per minute and cooling rates up to 10 °C per minute, SVM 3000 allows great flexibility when choosing the measuring temperature. The minimum temperature of -56 °C is reached by convenient use of an external circulation cooler. SVM 3000 also allows for temperature scans so that the behavior of the sample over a wide temperature range can be determined. The maximum temperature is 105 °C.

The entire temperature range from -56°C to +105°C and viscosity range from 0.2 to 20.000 mPa.s are measured with just one integrated measuring cell.

SVM 3000 is especially designed for viscosity and density testing of various petroleum products ranging from crude oil, lubricating oils to diesel and jet fuels.
