MiniAV-X Single Bath Kinematic Viscometer

Cannon Instrument Company

 

The CANNON miniAV-X is a fully automated, single-bath, benchtop viscometer with a 10-position sample handler for unattended D445 processing. The Ubbelohde-style tube covers a 100-fold viscosity range between 0.5 mm²/s (cSt) and 6,000 mm²/s (cSt) from 15 °C to 100 °C (with available TE cooler).

The miniAV-X is a versatile solution for a wide range of applications, including formulated oil analysis, hydraulic oil analysis, additive analysis, marine fuel testing, base stock analysis, light and heavy fuel testing, waxes/paraffin, crude oil testing, and glycols.

Its advanced features, such as the VISCPRO® software for viscosity index calculation, simplified maintenance, reduced consumable costs, and flexible configuration, make the miniAV-X an ideal choice for reliable and cost-effective viscosity testing.
