FAQs

1. Does the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester include a transparent safety viewing window?

No, the specifications of the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester do not mention a transparent safety viewing window. However, the unit is equipped with lighting to ensure that the viscometer scale is clearly visible for easy readings.

2. Does the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester have interior lighting for observation?

Yes, the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester includes lighting inside the constant temperature bath. This makes it easier for users to observe the viscometer scale, ensuring more accurate and convenient reading of viscosity results.

3. Is there a stirring mechanism in the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester to maintain uniform bath temperature?

Yes, the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester is equipped with a stirring motor that ensures even distribution of temperature throughout the bath. This feature maintains uniformity, which is essential for achieving precise and repeatable viscosity measurements.

4. Does the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester have a removable cover to prevent contamination?

No, the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester does not specify a removable cover for contamination protection. The instrument instead focuses on precise temperature control and accurate viscosity testing, with built-in lighting and stirring features for ease of use.

5. Does the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester feature electronic temperature control?

Yes, the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester uses an electronic controller that balances both heating and cooling systems to maintain precise bath temperatures. This ensures stable operation and accurate viscosity testing under different conditions.

6. Is software available with the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester for data acquisition and reporting?

No, the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester is a manual standalone unit and does not include dedicated software for data acquisition or reporting. The readings are taken directly using the viscometers inside the bath, making the system straightforward and easy to operate.

7. What are the dimensions of the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester ?

The It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester has dimensions of 530 × 460 × 870 mm. Its compact benchtop design makes it suitable for laboratory environments where space efficiency is important, while still delivering accurate viscosity testing at low temperatures.

8. Does the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester comply with D445 for kinematic viscosity testing?

Yes, the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester complies with GB/T265 and SY/T5651, which are equivalent to the widely recognized D445 standard. This ensures that the instrument delivers reliable and accurate viscosity testing results in line with international testing requirements.

9. Is the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester compliant with D2532 for viscosity testing at low temperatures?

The It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester offers a temperature range of –65 °C to room temperature, which matches the requirement for D2532. However, the official specification does not list D2532 certification. Therefore, compliance is considered partial, as the instrument meets the temperature requirement but does not have explicit certification under this standard.

10. Can the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester hold two Cannon-Fenske viscometers for simultaneous testing?

The It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester is designed to hold two viscometers simultaneously, but it is fitted to work with Pinkevitch viscometers instead of Cannon-Fenske viscometers. Pinkevitch viscometers are functionally similar and provide equally reliable results, making the system efficient for dual-sample testing under controlled low-temperature conditions.

11. What operating temperature range does the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester support?

The It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester supports an operating temperature range from –65 °C to room temperature. This wide range exceeds the D2532 requirement of –54 °C to +15 °C, allowing laboratories to conduct viscosity testing with greater flexibility and accuracy, especially at extremely low temperatures.

12. How stable is the bath temperature of the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester ?

The constant temperature bath of the It Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester offers a stability of ±0.1 °C. While this is highly precise for most testing needs, it is slightly less accurate than the D2532 requirement of ±0.03 °C over 72 hours. However, the stability provided is still sufficient for reliable kinematic viscosity measurements in various applications.
