Description
An on-board computer and user-friendly touch-screen interface allow a single CAV 4.2 unit to be run without an external PC. For higher throughput labs, a single external PC can manage up to four CAV 4.2 instruments using the powerful VISCPRO software. Multiple pre-defined and user-defined test methods can be run in the same sample tray to maximize flexibility and save valuable set up time. Status indicator bath lights provide a simple, easily viewed indication of operational status ensuring worry-free operation.
Cost-saving features include a tube design that reduces solvent usage and disposal costs by more than 50%. Single-point temperature calibration avoids tube recalibration costs and maximizes test flexibility. Automated vial washing and drying reduces vial consumption costs and replaces manual washing, saving time.
Features & Benefits
D445 precision in a modern, dependable design
- Temperature range: ambient to 100 °C (15 °C to 150 °C with available bath options)
- Viscosity range: 0.5 mm²/s (cSt) to 10,000 mm²/s (cSt)* in 100-fold increments (easily covering the range of 5 separate manual glass viscometers)
- Dual, independent modular baths enable simultaneous testing at two different temperatures
- Two fully accessible, 14-position sample handlers ensure reliable, unattended processing of up to 24 determinations per hour
- Automation provides an alternative to labor-intensive manual testing and reduces operator to operator variability
- A well tested CANNON viscometer platform offers reliability and dependable support
Compact & self-contained with flexible configuration

Reduced consumable costs
- ASTM D445/ISO 3105 Ubbelohde-style tubes reduce solvent usage and disposal costs by 50%
- Automated vial washing and drying enables reuse and reduces vial consumption
Simplified maintenance and test versatility
- Modular bath for easy maintenance access
- Operators physically replace tubes in minutes, eliminating the need for related service calls
- Single-point temperature calibration avoids tube recalibration costs and maximizes flexibility
- Colored status indicator bath lights provide a simple remote indication of operational status
- Multiple predefined/user-defined test methods can be run within the same sample tray
- (Optional) High throughput, selective zone heating preheats individual samples to any temperature from ambient to 100 °C
- Instrument includes standard dual-solvent input
* Some upper viscosity measurements may be limited by test temperature and sample type. Fast run (10-fold range) tubes are also available.
