For Measuring Viscous Drag of a Liquid Against a Rotating Spindle

The CANNON® V-2020 viscometers are easy-to-use, affordable rotational viscometers for the determination of dynamic viscosity. they measure the viscous drag of a liquid against a rotating spindle. With available spindles, the low viscosity LV-2020 measures from 1 mPa·s (cP) to 2,000,000 mPa·s (cP) while the moderate viscosity MV-2020 measures from 100 mPa·s (cP) to 13,000,000 mPa·s (cP). Both instruments offer 18 selectable speeds ranging from 0.3 rpm to 100 rpm.

Automated ASTM D2983 & ASTM D8210 - For Low Temperature Viscosity of Lubricants

The compact, economical TESC (thermoelectric sample conditioner) system integrates and automates the entire ASTM D2983 conditioning and testing process for low temperature viscosity of gear oils and ATF, as well as ASTM D8210. Provides an automated alternative to ASTM D2983 sample conditioning and testing. Eliminates sample disruption during preheating, room temperature stabilization, cooling and final viscosity testing. Reduces result variability due to temperature fluctuation. Provides superior precision. Allows for unattended operation.

 

Common Applications

  • Gear oils

  • Automatic transmission fluids

ASTM D4741, ASTM D4683, CEC L36-A-90 and IP 370
For High Temperature, High Shear Viscosity of Engine Lubricants

The Ravenfield® by CANNON® HTHS BS/C+ Viscometer is a compact, high precision, tapered plug viscometer that measures the high temperature, high shear viscosity of engine lubricants and other oils according to ASTM D4741, CEC L-36-A-90 and IP 370 as specified by SAE J300 and ACEA. The HTHS BS/C+ Tapered Plug Viscometer also correlates to ASTM D4683 with no bias and is capable of testing across a wide range of temperatures and shear rates. Also available with an optional Model DR autosampler which permits the testing of up to 22 samples without operator intervention.

 

Common Applications

  • Engine lubricants

  • Pre-filtered used oils
