Capillary viscometer 70Xe series

diesel fuellaboratoryfor kinematic viscosity measurement

Product Overview
The 70Xe Series delivers complete flow property testing for jet fuels, diesels, and renewable fuels in one fully integrated analyzer. Designed for high-efficiency laboratories, the platform combines cold properties, viscosity, and density testing with short test times, high precision, and full compliance with ASTM, IP, and DEF STAN specifications. Powered by decades of PAC innovation, the 70Xe Series expands laboratory capability through multiple configurable models including IFA-70Xe, JFA-70Xe, DFA-70Xe, KVD-70Xe and PSA-70Xe. A newly engineered cooling system extends testing capabilities to −100 °C and below, supporting sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), renewable diesel, and biodiesel while maintaining solvent-free operation and high throughput.

Models / Configurations

• IFA-70Xe / JFA-70Xe / DFA-70Xe — Next-generation integrated platform for flow properties testing, designed to simultaneously measure up to six critical properties for jet fuels and diesels.
• KVD-70Xe — Dedicated analyzer for precise viscosity and density measurements.
• PSA-70Xe — Cold properties analyzer (2-in-1 / single function) for freezing point, cloud point, and pour point measurement down to ultra-low temperatures.
• Optional 70Xe 30-position autosampler to automate sample loading, increase throughput, and enable unattended operation.

Key Features

• Flexible configuration: up to six functions in a single analyzer.
• Advanced cooling system enabling renewable fuels testing to −100 °C and below.
• Integrated workflow that maximizes uptime and reduces bench space requirements.
• Rapid testing with results in minutes; phase plots generated automatically for each test to visualize behavior and detect anomalies.
• Intuitive redesigned user interface that reduces training time and simplifies operation.
• Self-contained operation with no external chiller required (integrated Peltier cooling).
• Automatic sample loading available with optional 30-position autosampler.

Software
PACe compatibility provides real-time instrument monitoring, intelligent asset management, and proactive maintenance insight; enables instrument health visibility, throughput optimization, and consistent integration with PAC instrument portfolio.
