Features & Benefits

• Conforms to ASTM WK40831 - "New Test Method for Field Determination of Kinematic Viscosity Using Microchannel Viscometer"

• Direct kinematic viscosity measurement
  • A measure of a liquid’s flow under the influence of gravity is provided at a constant temperature, so viscosity can be compared and trended with prior readings. Requires no density check, temperature measurement, instrument pre-configuration or calculation.
     
• Split-cell capillary channel
  • Using a very small sample size; the sampling chamber controls temperature while infrared sensors measure flow and trajectory, delivering immediate results.
     
• Self-contained with high-resolution touch screen, battery and microprocessor
  • Enables easy operation, in sunlight or low light, drawing minimal power for a 6-hour battery life. Requires no PC.
     
• Small sample size
  • Small sample size of 60µl (about 4 drops) is easy to obtain without impacting lubricant level. Reduces waste.
     
• Temperature controlled: 40°C ± 0.1°C
  • Each sample is held to a constant temperature for consistently accurate readings without additional pre-test measurements.
     
• Works with transparent and opaque oils
  • Provides accurate results for even the dirtiest samples.
     
• No cleaning solvent necessary
  • Eliminates worry about solvent disposal in remote locations. Fewer items to carry.
     
• Weighs less than 1.8 kg (4 lbs.)
  • Designed for remote locations, the SpectroVisc Q3000 series includes a hinged cover that protects the sample chamber and touch screen while being carried by hand, in a toolbox or in a knapsack.
     
• Battery operated
  • Stays charged for more than 6 hours. Built-in universal charger for use worldwide; region-specific power cable included.

The SpectroVisc units can be ordered as a combination kit with the FluidScan® Q1000 or Q1100 portable infrared fluid condition monitors.
