For High Temperature, High Shear Viscosity of Engine Lubricants
ASMT D4741, CEC L36-A-90 and IP 370
The Ravenfield® by CANNON® HTHS Model BS/C+ Viscometer is a compact, high precision, tapered plug viscometer that measures the high temperature, high shear viscosity of engine lubricants and other oils according to ASTM D4741, CEC L-36-A-90 and IP 370 as specified by SAE J300 and ACEA. It is capable of testing across a wide range of temperatures and shear rates.
Common Applications
- Engine lubricants
- Used oils
Features & Benefits
Simple operation
- Computer-controlled user interface guides the operator through calibration and testing
- On-board viscosity calculator measures flow curve and computes results automatically
- Variable speed motor allows simple shear rate adjustment
- Compatibility with the Model DR autosampler (with built-in PC) provides fully automated, unattended testing
- Simple sample introduction
Fast and Precise
- Total test time <5 minutes per sample
- Sample processing of >12 tests per hour
- Temperature range: 40 °C to 180 °C (adjustable in 0.1 °C increments)
- 1 to 2% repeatabilityincrements)
Versatile
- Complies with SAE J300 and ACEA specifications. Meets D4741 and correlates to D4683 with no bias
- Ability to customize shear rate, temperature and gap parameters
- Multiple shear rate capability across a wide range (from 100,000 sec–1 to 2,000,000 sec–1)
- Optional LIMS connection
- Measures pre-filtered used oil samples
Convenient
- Instrument provides internal storage of measurement results
- No external utilities required. Does not require use of high pressure gas
- Model DR autosampler available with built in printer for hard-copy documentation of test results
- Small footprint
