The Seta KV-10 Viscometer Bath gives users a high quality, robust solution for kinematic viscosity determinations in the temperature range of Ambient to 150 °C. The KV-10 precisely maintains the temperature of up to 10 viscometer tubes, which are used to measure the viscosity of liquid petroleum products. Ultra precision temperature stability and uniformity is achieved with an integrated heating and stirring system. The bath offers high stability of ±0.02 up to and including 100 °C, ±0.03 above 100 °C.

All internal components are made of stainless steel construction to ensure long term durability. The large 40 Litre capacity ensures minimum temperature recovery time after loading the bath, improving sample throughput. Each aperture has a cover to minimise heat loss when not in use.

The bath is equipped with a toughened glass front window, easily accessible drain valve, integral back lighting, top plate and provision for reference thermometers and attachments. LEDs illuminate the bath so that the viscometer tubes can be viewed more easily.

Kinematic Viscosity
Kinematic viscosity is a key property for fuels and lubricants. Kinematic viscosity is determined by measuring the time it takes for a sample to flow through a glass capillary viscometer at a known constant temperature. Kinematic viscosity is extremely temperature sensitive and as such an accurate stable temperature controlled bath is essential.

Most fuel specifications include viscosity at a specified temperature. Viscosity in fuels determines how well the fuel will pump to the engines. For lubricants, kinematic viscosity determines the ability of a lubricating oil to create and maintain lubrication films between moving parts. Poor lubricant performance causes wear and overheating. Kinematic viscosity measurements enable the calculation of viscosity index. Viscosity index is an important parameter which describes the relationship between viscosity and temperature for a given lubricant.

Supplied with: 10 covers for test wells, mains lead and instruction manual.

Please note: excludes Viscometer tubes, these must be purchased as an additional accessory.
