The AVSPro automatic professional sampler is a fully automated measuring instrument for determining the viscosity of Newtonian fluids with capillary viscometers.
In spite of the high sample throughput, the AVSPro provides maximum accuracy and reproducibility and even allows unsupervised 24-hour operation.
The AVSPro automatic sampler works with the capillary method, which is the most precise method for determining the viscosity of Newtonian liquids in terms of physical chemistry. The great versatility offered by viscometers with optical and TC sensing systems opens up an extremely wide range of applications. This includes measurements of clear liquids as well as opaque petroleum products.
The main feature of the automatic unit is the three-axis positioning mechanism of the sample dosing system. The new X-Y-Z positioning mechanism allows parallel operation of up to eight viscometers in two thermostatic baths, which can be set at two different measurement temperatures.
Because of its large throughput capacity and its functional reliability, which it has demonstrated in the course of continuous practical operations, the AVSPro has proven itself to be an indispensable instrument for day-today utilization, particularly in the petroleum and plastics industries. |

The viscosity of Newtonian fluids can be most precisely determined using capillary viscosimeters. This method of measurement, measures the time taken for a defined quantity of fluid to flow through a capillary with a known diameter and known length. With the industrial production of such precisely calibrated capillary viscometers, we have created the conditions to enable this measuring method to establish itself worldwide as a reliable procedure.
With the development of the first automatic industrial measuring systems, we replaced the stopwatch with automatic registration of the fluid at the start of the 1970’s. Since then, subjective measuring errors have been a thing of the past.
