The CANNON® miniPV-H and miniPV-HX are automated, benchtop viscometers—compatible with aggressive/corrosive solvents—for dilute solution viscosity (DSV) of polymers and kinematic viscosity (KV) for general purpose applications.

Features and Benefits

Designed For Your Testing Needs

On-board software calculates molecular weight in addition to dynamic (with optional density meter), inherent, intrinsic, reduced, and specific viscosity
Excellent temperature control (±0.01°C) from 15 to 100 °C with integrated TE cooling
DSV viscosity range from 0.3 to 700 mm²/s (cSt)
KV viscosity range from 0.02 to 1,200 mm²/s (cSt)
A trusted CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support

Robust Design

Withstands corrosive solvents and acids
Results unaffected by fillers
10x less sensitive to moisture content
Compact to conserve space

Sealed System

Allows for measurement of atmospherically sensitive and volatile samples
Minimizes expose of operator to harmful chemicals
Eliminates sample evaporation

Fully Automated

Lowers operator-to-operator variability
Runs up to 10 samples unattended
Automated washing and drying replaces manual tube cleaning
Software controls the instrument and simplifies calibration, data entry, method selection, calculation selection, report formatting, and data exporting
Using VISCPRO^® software, one PC can manage up to four instruments

Highly Sensitive

Reliably measures viscosities less than water

Accurate Measurements

25x greater viscosity accuracy
4x more accurate molecular weight determinations

Simplified Maintenance & Test Versatility

Modular bath allows easy access for maintenance
Viscometer tube can be replaced by operator in just a few minutes
Standard dual solvent input
Single-point temperature calibration eliminates tube recalibration and maximizes test versatility
