Kinematic Viscometer: SVM 2001, SVM 3001, and SVM 4001

Overview

The SVM kinematic viscometer turns complexity into simplicity. Designed as a true all-in-one powerhouse, this automatic kinematic viscometer delivers much more than just viscosity: kinematic and dynamic viscosity, density, viscosity index, cloud point, freeze point, and more – all at the push of a button. It handles a wide temperature range effortlessly, using integrated Peltier technology, eliminating the hassle of liquid baths. Trusted worldwide, SVM meets over 50 international standards. Independent ASTM studies show it not only matches but often outperforms D445. Whatever your sample, wherever your lab, the SVM kinematic viscometer is your number one choice.

The Most Flexible Kinematic Viscometer

• Multiple parameters (viscosity, density, viscosity index, API, cloud point, freeze point, and more)
• 0.2 cSt to 30,000 cSt range – measure everything from jet fuel to wax
