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.
For budget-friendly routine viscosity testing with minimal sample volume and easy operation, explore the SVM 1001 / 1101 automatic viscometers.
