PAC PVT Standard System with Sensor Model 440 SPL and Viscopro 2000 BRO 024 electronics is the Gold Standard for Reservoir Fluid Lab Analysis. Designed for high-pressure, high-temperature applications, it provides fast, repeatable, and highly accurate results while maintaining a compact and rugged design ideal for both lab and field use.
This system features the state-of-the-art High-Pressure/High-Temperature Viscometer — also known as an Electro-Magnetic Viscometer (EMV). The VISCOlab PVT viscometer utilizes Cambridge’s patented oscillating piston technology, delivering ±1% of full scale accuracy and ±0.8% repeatability of reading* for superior measurement confidence.
