Overview
Product Overview
The AELAB SYD-0956A is an Automatic Houillon Kinematic Viscosity Tester designed for determining the kinematic viscosity of transparent and opaque liquids using an automated folded tube viscometer.
The instrument is designed and manufactured according to SH/T 0956-2017 Determination of Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids by Folded Tube Automatic Viscometer and ASTM D7279 Standard Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids by Automated Houillon Viscometer.
The SYD-0956A is suitable for samples including base oil, blended lubricating oil, biodiesel, biodiesel blended fuel, residual fuel oil and marine oil. Its specified measurement range is 3~3000mm²/s with a sample quantity of (0.3~1)mL.
The complete test process is automatically controlled from a one-key start and includes measurement, cleaning, drying, result calculation and data storage. The instrument stops automatically after the test. The catalog specifies a fastest measurement time of no more than 30 seconds and an average measurement time of less than 3 minutes.
A dual-solvent automatic cleaning system cleans the folded tube viscometer after testing, with cleaning-agent consumption of no more than 15ml per cleaning process. The constant-temperature bath uses high-temperature-resistant borosilicate glass, while the folded tube viscometer can be replaced without draining the bath liquid.
Key Features
- Fully Automatic Test Process: One-key operation automatically performs measurement, cleaning, drying, result calculation and data storage before stopping automatically.
- Fast Measurement: The fastest measuring time is no more than 30s, while the average measuring time is less than 3 minutes.
- Dual-Solvent Automatic Cleaning: Automatically cleans the folded tube viscometer, with cleaning-agent consumption of no more than 15ml for one cleaning process.
- Stable Bath Temperature: High-precision sensors support uniform and stable bath temperature; the catalog feature section specifies temperature control accuracy of 0.01℃.
- Quick Viscometer Replacement: The folded tube viscometer can be replaced without draining the bath liquid, with replacement completed within 2 minutes.
- Borosilicate Glass Bath: The constant-temperature bath uses high-temperature-resistant borosilicate glass with good visibility and insulation properties.
- Double Folded Tube Detection: The specified detection unit is a double folded tube viscometer.
- 15-Inch IPC Interface: Provides a 15-inch IPC operation interface for instrument control.
