Exchange all your capillaries for one single unit and save enormous amounts of time and money: the SVM viscometers provide the highest flexibility by covering the entire viscosity, density, and temperature range with a single measurement cell and deliver results in seconds. With SVM you can certify jet fuel, diesel, biodiesel blends, and marine fuels; classify crude oils and determine the VI of your lubricant. Whatever challenge you face, the SVM viscometer is the best solution on the market.
Key features
Don’t worry – be compliant
The SVM smart viscometers comply with a multitude of international standards and product specifications. With the integrated bias corrections delivered by ASTM, you can even report in D445 results while enjoying all the benefits of measuring with an SVM.
The highest flexibility for every application
Tired of looking for the suitable capillary which fits your sample’s viscosity? With SVM you do not need multiple baths and capillaries to measure different samples. SVM covers the entire viscosity, density, and temperature range with one measurement cell, enabling you to measure a wide variety of samples, from jet fuel to wax, without changing the cell. A single SVM viscometer is all you need for kinematic viscosity and viscosity index measurements in the range from 0.2 mm²/s to 30,000 mm²/s.
One instrument – many parameters
Besides viscosity, you can determine multiple other parameters with SVM within the same run and reduce your workload significantly:
- Kinematic viscosity (ASTM D7042, EN 16896, DIN 51659-2)
- Density (EN ISO 12185, ASTM D4052, IP 365)
- Viscosity index (VI) (ASTM D2270)
- Dynamic viscosity (ASTM D7042)
- API grades (ISO 91, API 2540, ASTM D1250, IP 200)
and more.
The highest economic efficiency
SVM helps you cut operational costs. The patented measuring cell requires only a small amount of solvent for cleaning (min. 1.5 mL), reducing solvent and disposal costs to a minimum. No external cooling is required for measurements down to -20 °C, saving valuable lab space and energy. While delivering superior performance, SVM consumes much less energy than a typical capillary bath, regardless of whether you measure at -20 °C or at +135 °C. Using a sample changer gives you time to perform other important tasks while filling, measuring, and cleaning are taken care of. As a result of these savings, SVM is undoubtedly the most economic and sustainable kinematic viscometer available on the market with the best ROI.
Great results with little effort
Installation, operation, and maintenance of SVM are incredibly easy. It is a stand-alone instrument and all calculations are performed automatically by the integrated PC. The factory-adjusted instrument is ready to use immediately out of the box. Thanks to its patented motor concept, access to the measuring cell is tool-free, enabling convenient cleaning after measuring heavily contaminated samples, such as used oil. The optional magnetic particle trap removes magnetic particles from the sample, ensuring good viscosity measurements. The fully customizable user interface shows you exactly the parameters you need.
Your 4-in-1 solution for low-temperature applications
In addition to kinematic viscosity and density, SVM 3001 Cold Properties determines the cloud and freeze points from the same sample. This significantly reduces your workload as SVM delivers the results which would otherwise require multiple tests on different instruments. SVM 3001 Cold Properties is the perfect choice for measuring diesel, biodiesel, and jet fuel and is ideal for both QC and R&D.
