miniPV®-HX Hardened Single-Bath Dilute Solution Polymer Viscometer

Date: October 11, 2020
Categoty: Viscosity

miniPV®-HX is a fully automated, single-bath, benchtop viscometer with a 10-position sample handler for unattended processing and testing of dilute solution viscosity of polymers in aggressive solvents and corrosive acids. The Ubbelohde-style tube covers a dilute solution polymer viscosity range between 0.02 mm²/s (cSt) and 700 mm²/s (cSt) from 15 °C to 100 °C.
