✦ Key Features

🌡️
Precision PID Temperature Control
PID controller with timer and thermostatic bath ensures stable, accurate temperature regulation across the full RT~120°C range.
📊
4 Capillary Positions – Batch Sequential
Load up to 4 capillary tubes at once for batch testing. The instrument tests them sequentially with automatic timing and cleaning, reducing handling time and ensuring consistent bath temperature across all samples.
Automatic Timing & Calculation
Automatically times sample flow and computes kinematic viscosity = capillary constant × average time, reducing operator error.

Product Overview

The A1010 Kinematic Viscometer is a precision laboratory instrument designed to determine the kinematic viscosity of liquid petroleum products. Kinematic viscosity is one of the most important physical properties used to classify and evaluate petroleum products. Selecting lubricants with the proper viscosity helps ensure the reliable and efficient operation of mechanical equipment.

Compliant with ASTM D445, GB/T 265, GB 11137 (Reverse-Flow Viscometer), GB/T 1995 (viscosity index), and GB/T 1660 (plasticizers), the A1010 is widely used across power, petroleum, chemical, environmental protection, and scientific research sectors for testing the kinematic properties of petroleum products.
