EKV110 Automatic Kinematic Viscosity Tester
Product Introduction
The EKV110 Automatic Kinematic Viscosity Tester is designed, manufactured and inspected in accordance with GB/T 265, ISO 3104 and ASTM D445. It is designed for measuring the kinematic viscosity of transparent and opaque liquid petroleum products, including crude oil, light and heavy fuel oils, lubricating oils and additives.
The EKV110 provides a highly automated testing workflow. After placing samples and entering sample numbers and positions, the instrument can automatically perform sample loading, sampling, temperature conditioning, viscosity measurement, cleaning and drying without continuous manual operation.
With an industrial computer and microcontroller-based control system, dual viscometers, automatic sample handling and integrated cleaning and drying, the EKV110 automatic kinematic viscosity tester is suitable for petroleum laboratories, oil refineries, quality-control laboratories and research institutions.
