The RHEOTEK JETVISCTMAutomated Viscometer is suitable for determining the kinematic viscosity of jet fuels in the temperature range -40 to +20oC.
The analyzer has been specifically developed for sub-zero kinematic viscosity determinations, overcoming the problems normally associated with these applications.
International aviation fuel specifications ASTM D1655 & DEF STAN 91:91 require kinematic viscosity to be determined in compliance with ASTM D445 or IP 71.
No other ASTM methods or measuring techniques meet the above requirements either as a compliant method or as a correlation to the above methods.
Key features include:
- Fully meets ASTM D445 with excellent precision
- ASTM Ubbelohde viscometer tube, with independent ISO17025 calibration
- High resolution touch screen
- Automatic standby and eco modes
- Small volume of cleaning solvent
- Result database, LIMS and USB ports
- Real time tutorial & diagnostic screens
Advantages:
- Reliable analyzer, developed for sub-zero applications
- Low maintenance
- User friendly for operators
- Compliance with test methodology
- Precise results
- Expandable configurations for other applications
Typical applications include:
- Jet A or Jet A-1 at -20oC
- Other aviation turbine fuels at -40, -20, +20oC
- Kerosenes at +20oC
- Optional diesels at +40oC
