U-Visc kinematic viscometer

Part Number: U-Visc
The U‑Visc series are fully‑automatic Ubbelohde‑tube viscometers, designed for rapid, unattended kinematic viscosity measurement of Newtonian fluids (lubricants, fuels, polymers), with full ASTM D445/D446 compliance. They offer bath-based thermal control, optical/thermal detection, and are available in 1‑ or 2‑bath configurations with 1 or 2 tubes per bath.
The BitUVisc variant extends the viscosity range up to 120,000 mm²/s and allows measurements up to 150 °C, ideal for high-viscosity samples .
Fully ASTM-compliant
Meets ASTM D445/D446 (plus D2170 for BitUVisc), ISO 3104/3105, IP 71, DIN 51562, IP 71, JIS, EN, EN standards .
High Throughput & Low Volume
Processes up to 40 samples/hr (per unit), using only 8–16 mL sample and 10–15 mL cleaning solvent per cycle .
Precise Temperature Control
15–150 °C range, stability ±0.01 °C (≤100 °C) or ±0.03 °C at higher temps; temperature-controlled baths, optional pre‑heater and chiller .
Vacuum/Pressure Sampling & Duplex
Prevents sample evaporation using vacuum/pressure fill; optional "duplo" duplicates for unstable fluids .
Auto-Cleaning & Tube Exchange
Cleans both inside and outside viscometer tubes with solvent + air; easy swap for maintenance. Dual-solvent cleaning optional .
Flexible Bath Configurations
"Models:

U‑Visc 110/120: one bath (1 or 2 tubes).

U‑Visc 210/220: two independent baths — ideal for viscosity index testing ."
