Product Announcements: Viscometers

Chevron Energy Technology needed to update to a more reliable viscometer to better measure the viscosity of its lube oils. Chevron was using viscometers that consisted of tubing and heaters in a bath. In searching for a replacement, however, they did not want to lose the ability to measure viscosity at set temperature, and turned to Cambridge Viscosity...

The VISCOpro 8000 multi-channel viscometer system allows users to control up to 12 in-line or in-tank viscosity measurement sensors from a single location, accurately and with total ease. The intuitive touch-screen system provides a wealth of information within two clicks, including real-time readings on temperature, viscosity, and temperature-compensated viscosity (TCV). (read more)

Ideally suited for high-temperature tests where a separate water bath system is impractical or absent, the VISCOlab 3000 features integrated electronic temperature control. The sensor supports 13 different 20:1 viscosity ranges from 0.2cP up to 20,000 cP, and provides continuous viscosity, temperature, and temperature-compensated viscosity readings with less than 1.5...

A new recorded presentation from Malvern Instruments compares the use of Dilute Solution Viscometry (DSV) with that of traditional glassware for measuring polymer intrinsic viscosity. Intrinsic viscosity correlates directly with molecular weight, which is a critical variable for polymers due to its controlling influence on processability ... (read more)

Cambridge Viscosity provides small, robust viscometers for high pressure applications such as lube oil in pilot plants, compressors, turbines or any inline installation in which harsh conditions exist. The all 316L stainless steel sensor is rated up to 3,500 psi and temperatures to 190C. (read more)

The Cambridge Viscosity Micro-Sample Viscometer: VISCOlab 5000 delivers accurate, repeatable viscosity measurements with only 75μl (microliters) of sample; providing a break though solution for pharmaceutical and biotechnology discovery research and development laboratories working with various proteins, an...

The Cambridge Viscosity Small Sample Viscometer: VISCOlab 4000 features a small footprint and is simple to operate. It can be calibrated for viscosity measurements between 0.2cP and 10,000cP at ambient temperatures or with an optional temperature control jacket for measurements between -40ºC and 110ºC. The sensor requires only 1.5mL of sample for each t... (read more)

Brookfield, the world standard for viscosity measurement and control, offers two hands-on courses that equip users of Brookfield instruments with the knowledge to get the most out of their viscosity test methods. These one-day training sessions are presented in easy- to-understand terms that give attendees the working know-how to verify and improve upon the data required for meaningful R... (read more)

Faced with improving viscosity control in a challenging processing environment, a leading South American oil refiner turned to Cambridge Viscosity. Cambridge responded by developing explosion-proof mounting enclosures to augment the viscosity control system the company relies upon for highly accurate viscosity measurements. (read more)

Cambridge's VISCOlab PVT (Pressure Viscosity Temperature) high-pressure high temperature viscometer is designed for small sample testing in oil research, core analysis, lube oil analysis, and supercritical fluids. (read more)
