Portable field viscometer

Pompano Beach, Florida – PDVdi-120 offers a portable, efficient, alternative to larger full-featured laboratory viscometers. The PDVdi-120 is a simple to use, accurate, low-cost, compact, and lightweight field viscometer that can be taken anywhere to measure the viscosity of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. 

 

The PDVdi-120 consists of a viscometer main body with a reusable syringe (tube) and a falling needle attached to an extension bar with two markings. The viscosity of the sample is determined by measuring the falling time of a needle through a predetermined distance (between two markings on the extension bar attached to the needle) within the fluids held in the reusable syringe. The falling time can be measured manually by a stopwatch. The viscometer includes viscometer main body with two reusable syringes, falling needle, stopwatch, digital thermometer, an instruction manual, and carrying case.

 

Key features include: field viscosity test, measures absolute viscosity without instrument calibration, multiple measurements with single sample, easy cleaning and maintenance (reusable syringe and large needle), quick measurement with immediate results, and it conforms to SAE AIR 5704 and ASTM D 5478.
