Cannon MiniAV automatic viscometer from
Labtex
The MiniAV automates sample measurement and tube cleaning, the most labour-intensive parts of the kinematic viscosity measurement process
Cannon Instrument has introduced a new type of automatic viscometer The new instrument stands just over 60cm tall and occupies roughly the same footprint as a tabletop rotational viscometer

Most powerful thermostat gains bigger range
The original Ministat claimed to be the most powerful thermostat in the world, weight for weight, and thousands of them have been sold around the world
The miniAV has a built-in temperature bath that control precision demanded by ASTM D445, the kinematic viscosity method.
The new instrument features a compound Ubbelohde-style viscometer tube with a 100-fold range.
Sample volume required for testing is only 6ml.
A ten-fold range fast-run tube requiring only 3ml of sample is also available.
Pat Maggi, president of Cannon Instrument, said that the MiniAV had been developed to provide "an affordable automated kinematic viscometer for those users who have been unable to automate their manual viscosity testing due to the high entry cost of traditional automatic viscometers." Maggi said the MiniAV would be introduced to the market at about half the price of the fully automatic CAV 2000 Series viscometers manufactured by Cannon. Request a free brochure from Labtex ...
