EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS

Specifications of Automatic Viscometer The Sustainable Biofuels and Coproducts Research Unit (SBCP) at the USDA-ARS Eastern Regional Research Center is seeking to purchase a Viscometer with the capability to measure kinematic viscosity automatically by measuring dynamic viscosity and density of various fluids derived from vegetable oils/carbohydrates.

Specification

The Viscometer should meet the following specifications:

Measure several parameters of a sample such as kinematic and dynamic viscosity (ASTM D7042), viscosity index (ASTM D2270), density (ASTM D4052), and API grades (API 2540) automatically using a density cell and a viscosity cell in the temperature range of - 20°C to 135°C with internal Peltier control and no external Thermostat.

o Viscosity repeatability: 0.1% o Viscosity reproducibility: 0.35% o Density repeatability: 0.00005 g/cm³ o Density reproducibility: 0.0001 g/cm³ o Temperature reproducibility: 0.03 °C (0.054 °F) from 15 °C to 100 °C; 0.05 °C

(0.09 °F) outside this range o Test methods: ASTM D7042, ISO 23581, EN 16896, ASTM D4052, ISO 12185 o Sample/solvent volume min/typical: 1.5 mL / 5 mL

Versatile to measure these properties on a variety of samples, such as fuels, lubricants, crude oils, waxes, heavy fuel oil, additives, in-service oils, and chemicals

Rapid heating and cooling rates (up to 20 °C/min) for measuring properties of the sample across a wide temperature range

Way to know when the instrument is clean and ready to use Viscosity cell should be easy to remove for thorough cleaning Measure kinematic/dynamic viscosity, density on a small amount of sample as little as

2mL Internal tables and equations to give API values, ASTM D445 bias correction amongst others Ready to use within minutes of start-up One instrument for all temperatures and up to 30000cSt viscosity Lower Power Consumption (Max 250W) Fast results, USB connection, Networking Capable, LIMS Capable, AP Connect ASTM D7042 and ASTM D4052 compliant Programmable autosampling with automatic cleaning - Reduces time in front of the instrument
