Features & Benefits

D445 precision in a modern, dependable design

• Temperature range: ambient to 100 °C (15 °C to 150 °C with available bath options)
• Viscosity range: 0.5 mm²/s (cSt) to 10,000 mm²/s (cSt) in 100-fold increments* (easily covering the range of 5 separate manual glass viscometers)
• Dual, independent baths enable simultaneous testing at two different temperatures
• Two fully accessible, 14-position sample handlers ensure reliable, unattended processing of up to 24 determinations per hour
• Automation provides an alternative to labor-intensive manual testing and reduces operator to operator variability
• A well tested CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support

Compact & self-contained with flexible configuration

• Simple, out-of-the-box installation
• 35% smaller footprint conserves lab space
• Optional, environmentally-friendly Peltier cooling requires no external refrigeration
• An onboard computer permits preprogrammed test parameters to be run without an external PC
• VISCPRO® PC software enables programming of user-defined test methods and permits one PC to manage and control up to four instruments
• User-configurable reports may be viewed, printed, saved, and exported
Reduced consumable costs
• Next generation Atlantic-style tubes reduce solvent usage and disposal costs by 50% over larger predecessor tubes
• Automated vial washing and drying enables reuse and reduces vial consumption

Simplified maintenance and test versatility

• Modular bath for easy maintenance access
• Operators physically replace tubes in minutes, eliminating the need for related service calls
• Colored status indicator bath lights provide a simple indication of operational status
• Multiple predefined/user-defined test methods can be run within the same sample tray
• High throughput, selective zone heating of individual samples to temperatures from ambient to 100 °C
• Instrument includes standard dual-solvent input
*Some upper viscosity measurements may be limited by test temperature and sample type. Ubbelohde-style tubes (for volatile products that are not a pure solvent and high melt waxes) are also available in 100-fold increments and fast run 10-fold increments from 0.5 mm²/s (cSt) to 10,000 mm²/s (cSt).
