Why Switch to ASTM D2983 Procedure D? Automated Low-Temp Viscosity Made Simple
ASTM D2983 offers multiple procedures for low-temperature viscosity testing - yet not all deliver the same level of safety, efficiency, and control. Traditional methods rely on external methanol baths, manual sample handling, and complex cooling setups that increase workload and laboratory risk.
In this webinar, we compare the ASTM D2983 procedures and explain why Procedure D with ViscoQC rotational viscometers represents the modern alternative. Learn how Peltier-based cooling eliminates liquid coolants, simplifies laboratory infrastructure, and improves temperature control. Experience automated sample conditioning, controlled cooling, and measurement in one seamless workflow. With predefined test routines, operators simply start the method and collect the result - ensuring consistent execution, reduced operator influence, and reliable low-temperature viscosity data.
In addition, we cover essential viscometry fundamentals everyone should know to better understand data, avoid common pitfalls, and achieve consistent, reproducible viscosity results.
Key learning objectives:
- Key differences between ASTM D2983 procedures and why Procedure D will benefit you the most
- How ViscoQC enables one-button ASTM D2983 Procedure D testing with fully automated workflows
- Essential viscometry fundamentals to correctly interpret and validate your results
