miniPV® is a fully-automated, single sample, benchtop viscometer for testing dilute solution viscosity of polymers in organic solvents and aqueous solutions. The Ubbelohde-style tube covers a dilute solution polymer viscosity range between 0.02 mm2/s (cSt) and 700 mm2/s (cSt) from 15°C to 100°C. Available tubes cover a kinematic viscosity range of 0.3 mm2/s (cSt) to 1,200 mm2/s (cSt) with extended KV range tubes available on request.
