SKY1003-IVA Automatic Kinematic Viscometer
Introduction
SKY1003-IVA Fully Automatic Kinematic Viscometer. It is used to determine the kinematic viscosity of transparent and opaque petroleum products including crude oil, paraffin wax, light and heavy fuel oils, lubricating oils, additives and in-service oils. Its test accuracy meets or exceeds the requirements specified in ASTM D445.
Applicable Standards: ASTM D445, ASTM D446, GB/T 265, GB/T 30515, ISO 3104, ISO 3105, IP 71
Features

  • The instrument adopts iSKvator™ technology to perform fully automatic sample injection, constant temperature control, viscosity measurement, viscometer cleaning and drying, with no on-site operator attendance required.
  • It features advanced NTC thermistor measurement technology. The measurement is immune to interference from sample color, ambient brightness and other factors, enabling equivalent-precision testing for transparent, dark and opaque petroleum products.
  • Equipped with an onboard computer and a 15.6-inch color touchscreen for operation, it can run pre-programmed sequences and configure test parameters independently without an external PC.
  • It uses modified Ubbelohde capillary viscometers with proprietary intellectual property rights. Each viscometer covers a 100-fold test range.
  • Kinematic viscosity measurement range: 0.5 ~ 10000 cSt.
  • It can automatically apply customized lateral pre-heating and/or central pre-heating for waxy or heavy oil samples. A heated sample tray is available as an option to pre-heat multiple test specimens.
  • Dual-solvent cleaning system with user-programmable cleaning routines. 
  • The viscometer tube is dried by blowing dry air to ensure test accuracy.
  • Corrosion-resistant design, compatible with most corrosive cleaning solvents.
  • Requires only approximately 13 ml ~ 15 ml of test oil sample. 
  • The entire process of sample testing and cleaning takes a minimum of about 10~15 min. 
  • The transparent sample suction nozzle guard adopts a clip-on installation, facilitating regular cleaning of residual sample by users.
  • The software supports temperature calibration, viscometer tube calibration and automatic viscosity index calculation. 
  • 24-position auto-sample tray. After samples are registered and sorted in the software, unattended continuous fully automatic testing is available; priority queue testing is also supported.
  • The test and cleaning templates in the software can be differentially programmed and modified according to the characteristics of test oil samples to meet personalized test requirements.
  • Experimental data is recorded in real time for easy viewing of test results and retrieval of historical data.
  • It can connect to the LIMS system for data transmission.
