Lauda's automatic dynamic viscosity measurement PVS In the production and recycling of polycarbonate (such as CD-ROMs) and polymethyl methacrylate (such as plexiglass), the IV value (intrinsic viscosity) plays an important role. Viscosity measurements of polymer solutions are also conducted in the production of raw material pellets. Lauda's dynamic viscosity measurement system can be configured with up to 8 measurement stands equipped with an automatic cleaning function, and the injection of sample solutions into the viscosity tubes can be performed either automatically or manually. This system allows for the measurement of a large number of samples with 24-hour operation. In cases where measurement frequency is low, it is also possible to build a system at an affordable price, with the option to add automation modules such as auto samplers later on.

The system adopts a completely modular configuration, allowing you to choose the optimal system from many combinations according to your budget, application purpose, number of samples, and more. We offer systems that automate only the measurement as well as those that automate the cleaning process. (The measurement stand can control up to 8 units, and there are also higher models equipped with an auto-sampler.) Since additional features and expansions can be added later, it is possible to implement a setup with lower initial costs while keeping the final configuration in mind. All operations are performed using software on a PC, making it easy to operate and manage data. When combined with the Proline series constant temperature water baths, measurements can be taken under precise temperature control. By employing near-infrared detection for liquid level detection, we minimize measurement errors associated with visual observation and variations due to liquid color, enabling high-precision measurements at the millisecond level.

Lauda's fully automatic dynamic viscosity measurement device PVS VAS In high-performance plastics, managing the viscosity number (Reduced Viscosity) is essential, and quality control of materials is conducted by understanding the polymer chain length. Lauda's dynamic viscosity measurement system can be constructed to minimize the handling of highly irritating, toxic, and corrosive solvent chemicals, contributing to the safety of operators. By establishing a fully automatic system, it is possible to automatically perform a series of operations from the automatic preparation of diluted polymer solutions, injection into viscosity tubes, viscosity measurement, to the cleaning and drying of viscosity tubes after measurement, demonstrating its effectiveness in routine work that requires efficient measurement of many samples, such as resin material evaluation for each batch.

The PVS VAS system is a fully automatic dynamic viscosity measurement device equipped with an auto-sampler, based on LAUDA's extensive experience of over 40 years in PVS dynamic viscosity measurement equipment. The viscosity tube uses a dedicated viscosity tube that includes one cleaning tube in addition to the standard viscosity tube. All operations are performed using software on a PC, making it easy to operate and facilitating data management. When combined with the Proline series constant temperature water baths, measurements can be conducted under precise temperature control. By employing a near-infrared method for liquid level detection, it minimizes measurement errors associated with visual observation and variations due to liquid color, enabling high-precision measurements at the millisecond level.

The Lauda-made constant temperature water bath with a viewing window for measuring dynamic viscosity, "Viscotemp 15/24/40," limits the operating temperature range of the conventional Proline PV series to the most versatile range of 0°C to 105°C, while maintaining high quality and reliability. It is available in combination with ECO Silver or ECO Gold control heads. The water bath is available in three capacities: 15L, 24L, and 40L. You can select the model according to the number of measurement samples and measurement purposes. A variety of measurement stands and viscosity tube holders are also available, along with a cover plate that enables a wide range of combinations, contributing to the construction of a cost-effective dynamic viscosity measurement system. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

"Viscocool 6" is a new product that is ideal for use in conjunction with the PVS or iVisc dynamic viscosity measurement devices from Lauda, which have received high praise. It features a built-in cooling function using a Peltier element, allowing the device to operate at temperatures ranging from 15°C to 90°C. The transparent polycarbonate water tank has a capacity of 6 liters and can accommodate one measurement stand and one viscosity tube stand. Additionally, it comes standard with a backlight using white LEDs on the rear of the tank, making manual viscosity measurements comfortable. This product is perfect for small-scale dynamic viscosity measurement tasks, research and development, and quality control. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

The "Viscotemp 18S/G," a transparent cylindrical constant temperature water bath for measuring dynamic viscosity, is convenient for manual dynamic viscosity measurements of multiple samples. Made of hard glass, the water bath allows for observation from all angles, which improves measurement efficiency. You can choose between two types of cover plates: one designed for five viscosity tube holders and a measurement stand, and another for one viscosity tube holder, allowing you to build a system tailored to your usage needs and the number of samples. The control head is available in two models, Silver and Gold, similar to the well-regarded ECO series. By using an external cooling unit, operation at low temperatures is also possible, making it suitable for a wide range of measurement tasks.
