User-friendly and robust, the SimpleVIS by CANNON^® is a portable, single sample, automated kinematic viscometer used for on-site testing. The available tubes cover a viscosity range of 2 to 700 mm²/second (cSt) at two selected temperatures between 40 °C and 100 °C.

Features and Benefits

Automated and Precise

Go from sample injection to test result in three to five minutes
Precise determination of direct kinematic viscosity (KV) at 40 °C and 100 °C (or switch to any two custom calibrations between 40 °C and 100 °C upon request)
Offers true KV without the need to correlate dynamic viscosity data
Adheres to ASTM D7279 and due to exceptional temperature control (±0.05 °C) allows for near ASTM D445 precision
Viscosity range for low range tubes is 2 to 140 mm2/second (cSt) at 40 °C and 100 °C
Viscosity range for standard tubes:
- 10 to 700 mm²/second (cSt) at 40 °C
- 5.5 to 200 mm²/second (cSt) at 100 °C

Dependable, Self-contained, and Portable

A trusted CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support
Rugged, reliable design has only two moving parts
Stand alone, no PC or external utilities needed
Takes up less space than a coffee machine and weighs 10 lb
Runs off a 12 VDC vehicle charging port with power inverter add-on

Simple and Safe Operation

Follow step-by-step test instructions with a graphic touch screen display
Optional printer available
Factory calibration means no switches, gauges, or valves to adjust
The intrinsically safe instrument uses 12 VDC power

Economical

Only 0.5 mL of sample and 10 to 15 mL of solvent is needed for each test
Solid-state temperature control means no bath fluid
Sample is injected directly into the instrument, eliminating the need for sample vials
