Kinematic Viscometer 52-KVM103 – High-Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Testing for Laboratory Applications

The Desktop Double-Layer Laboratory Instrument - Model 52-KVM103 Kinematic Viscometer is intended for accurate kinematic viscosity measurement of asphalt and petroleum products. The design meets ASTM D2171 / D2171M – asphalt kinematic viscosity Test (Capillary Viscometer Methods) specifications and features programmed high-temperature testing with prerequisites for stable thermal conditions and consistent flow measurement. Its compact laboratory-friendly structure makes it suitable for quality control labs, research facilities, and material testing environments.

Importance of Kinematic Viscosity Testing in Laboratories

Kinematic Viscometer 52-KVM103  has an important use in the determination of the flow motion of asphalt glue and petroleum products at higher temperatures. Temperature regulation issues, as well as the handling of multiple samples, tend to reduce the efficiency of testing in laboratory settings. This device is, therefore, essential in ensuring that the laboratory flow remains steady.

Relative Humidity: ≤ 85 %

Capillary Viscometer

7 Cannon-Fenske Reserve

Inner diameters: 1.02, 1.26, 1.48

Sample handling: Simultaneous testing of up to 3 samples

Stirring Motor: 6 W, 1200 rpm

Temperature display: Mercury thermometer with a scale division of 0.1°C

These specifications enable laboratories to provide consistent heating during long-duration high-temperature kinematic viscosity measurements.

Applications Across Laboratory and Testing Fields

Kinematic Viscometer 52-KVM103 finds application in:

Asphalt and bitumen testing laboratories

Petroleum & Petrochemicals Quality Control Laboratories

Research and development groups

Facilities for Academic Material Testing

Facilities for Industrial Material Testing

It is capable of being compatible with a variety of capillary sizes so that a wide range of kinematic viscosity levels can be accommodated.

Advantages Laboratory Operations

Conducts Elevated Temperature Tests

The temperature of the bath could go up to 135 °C. Optional temperatures up to 180 °C are also possible. Therefore, it is ideal for use with high viscosity materials.

Parallel Sample Testing

Testing of three samples at a time reduces waiting time and enhances laboratory testing capacity.

Stable Thermal Environment

The constant stirring at a speed of 1200 rpm ensures even temperature distribution in the bath. This helps prevent errors caused by uneven thermal conditions during asphalt kinematic viscosity testing.

Broad Measurement Scope

Seven capillary diameters are provided to enable viscosity measurements across low to high flow rates without changing the Viscometer.

How the Instrument Reduces Laboratory Workload

High-temperature kinematic viscosity measurements may require constant observation. However, the Kinematic Viscometer 52-KVM103 simplifies high-temperature testing by maintaining constant bath conditions using a digital temperature controller and continuous stirring. Its ability to test multiple samples simultaneously makes it function similarly to an automatic viscometer, significantly improving workflow efficiency.

Benefits for Testing and Research Facilities

A Kinematic Viscometer 52-KVM103 is beneficial to laboratories because it:

Reduces turnaround time for viscosity tests

Minimizes operator interaction in long-duration tests

Is compatible with standard Cannon-Fenske capillary Viscometer systems

Is suitable for quality control and laboratory research

Integrates easily into existing laboratory layouts

Conclusion

Kinematic Viscometer 52-KVM103 is designed for laboratories that require accurate, high-temperature asphalt kinematic viscosity measurement for petroleum and asphalt samples. Its temperature accuracy of ± 0.1°C up to 180.0°C, combined with simultaneous

multi-sample testing, optimizes laboratory efficiency while minimizing human error. Compatibility with various Cannon-Fenske capillaries and user-friendly design further reinforce its role as a reliable automatic viscometer solution for quality control, research, and material testing laboratories.
