The Only ASTM Compliant Capillary Process Viscometer
Apr 20 2016
BARTEC BENKE’s (Germany) VISC-4 is the world’s only ASTM compliant capillary viscometer. This analyser can continuously measure kinematic viscosity and density, allowing it to then calculate dynamic viscosity with amazing temperature stability (+_ 0.02K) to make it compliant with ASTM D445 Standard. This makes the VISC-4 it an ideal solution for applications such as lube oil production and fuel oil blending where accurate viscosity readings are paramount. These accurate measurements reduce costs as well as raising quality, so the return on investment is rapid.
Maintenance requirements are minimal because of the temperature control and insulation system and no Hagenbach correction is required. Multi-stream capability, integrated failure diagnosis and self-monitoring and validation reports for quality assurance come as standard features and there is an option of automatic rinsing and draining. As with all BARTEC analysers, the instruments works with Modbus/RTU. Modbus/TCP (bidirectional) interfaces and remote access can be achieved with Ethernet (VDSL or FOC is) and it can be programmed via digital and analogue inputs.
