Automatic sampling viscometer Schott Instruments AVS Pro
The AVSPro automatic 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.
