Automatic Viscometer: SVM 1001

Overview

The SVM automatic viscometers deliver kinematic or dynamic viscosity – and, depending on the model, density, specific gravity, and API grades. All results are provided digitally, with no manual calculations required. Replace your full set of 12 glass capillaries with a single, robust unit. With the Simple Fill funnel, you can simply pour and measure – no pipettes, syringes, or other consumables needed. Our automatic viscometers use integrated Peltier technology, eliminating the need for a liquid bath, and feature durable metal cells to replace fragile glassware. Enjoy full compliance with ASTM D7042 and report results in both D7042 and D445, enabled by built-in ASTM-defined bias corrections.

Save Time with Our Automatic Viscometers

• 150 % higher throughput compared to manual methods
• Faster results to avoid out-of-spec production
• Simple Fill for direct filling – no pipette or syringe needed
• Temperature equilibration in one minute or less

Experience Digital Data Handling with an Automatic Viscometer

• Digital data recording and storage for reliable traceability
• Automatic calculations for error-free measurements
• Data export from device to a PC or USB drive
• One-click access to your kinematic viscosity data
• Compatible with AP Connect for digital data management
• Automatic viscometer with fully digital connectivity

Stay Compliant and Benefit from Bias Correction

• ASTM D7042 as a global alternative to D445
• Dual reporting: D7042 and D445 via bias correction
• Complies with international standards (ASTM, ISO, etc.)
• ASTM D4052-compliant density with SVM 1101 Simple Fill

Improve Safety for Lab and Operator

• Metal cell: No more glass breakage
• Peltier thermostatting for fast temperature control
• Reduced exposure to hazardous solvents
• Safer operation: No flammable bath liquids

Minimal Sample, Solvent, and Energy Consumption

• Analysis with just 5 mL sample and 6 mL solvent
• Low energy consumption (under 75 W)
• Two-minute cleaning, 30-minute maintenance
• 50 % less effort for QC documentation
• No external PC or software needed
• Designed for efficiency and reduced waste

All of this adds up to a significantly lower total cost of ownership compared to ASTM D445.
