Cannon Instrument's miniPV-HX viscometer is suitable for aggressive acids and solvents commonly used for the dilute solution viscosity determination of polymers.
Based on the miniAV, this viscometer comes with added functionality for the measurement of polymer solution viscosity.
The miniPV-HX contains Viscpro II software, which provides the determination of relative viscosity based on accurate flow time measurements to 1/100th second made under conditions of temperature control within 1/100th of a degree.
Reduced and inherent viscosity values can also be reported and the intrinsic viscosity can be determined by one of two single-point methods, or the more rigorous Huggins-Kraemer analysis.
The software also supports Mark-Houwink-Sakurada parameters and an optional branching factor for reporting polymer molecular weight.
The miniPV-HX delivers complete automation, including tube filling, cleaning and drying, along with automatic flow time measurement and data logging into a standard database format.
The Viscpro II software features provide flexible report formatting and versatile data-export functionality.
The miniPV- HX is available with an integrated auto sampler that allows an entire sequence of samples to be measured without an attending operator.
The miniPV-HX has a height of 30.5in and a bench-top footprint of about 40cm2 (15.5in2).
The modular design also includes a control unit (35 x 40cm, 13.5 x 15.5in) and solvent station (8 x 33cm, 8 x 13in) which can be stacked to conserve work space.
