| The ETS-1000 series II
instrument electronically measures the viscosity
of paint and other liquids. Measurements comply
with paint industry specifications. ETS-1000
eliminates the weights and cord found in the
manual Thomas®-Stormer®. Viscosity
determinations are made quickly and accurately
using the latest rotational viscometer
technology. The Display Select switch on the
front panel allows selection of Krebs Units,
centipoise, or grams. At the conclusion of a
test, readings can be retained on the digital
display using the hold switch. Conversion
between the different viscosity units is
accomplished by rotating the Display Select
switch. Included with the ETS-1000 is an adapter
allowing for sample measurement using one-half
pint cans. A CANNON® viscosity calibration standard and a
certificate of calibration are also supplied.
The MFV has been designed to accurately measure the
viscosity of marine fuels between 30 and 1000 centipoise (mPas) at temperatures
of 40C, 50C, 80C, and 100C. The MFV-1000 instrument can also be used for other
applications consistent with its temperature control and viscosity measurement
capabilities, including the ASTM D 244 consistency test for viscosity of asphalt
emulsions. The MFV-1000 is a rugged, lightweight instrument ideally suited for
use in locations adjacent to fuel loading areas. The MFV-1000 is also highly
suitable for determining the viscosity of lubricating oils-better than that
required by ASTM D 445 for residual oils at 50C. The MFV-1000 consists of a
base, adjustable heater cup/tray, sample cups(2), head unit, and a spindle. A
digital display also indicates the temperature, duration of test, and test
status.
The CANNON® Model LV 2020 and MV 2020
rotary viscometers measure the torque necessary to overcome viscous resistance
to rotation of a spindle (cylinder or disk) immersed in the test material. The
Model 2020 instruments then perform the calculations necessary to determine
viscosity from the torque measurement, spindle speed and spindle
characteristics. The resulting value is displayed on the screen in centipoises.
Several spindles in popular geometries are provided with each viscometer. Both
models offer eighteen incremental speed adjustments from 0.3 to 100 RPM. Each
instrument comes with a standard spindles, spindle guard and viscometer stand.
The Model LV 2020 has a viscosity range of 15 to 2M mPa(s) and the MV 2020 has a
viscosity range of 100 to 13M mPa(s). Accessories are available to extend the
range or for small sample sizes. |
