Description

The Omnitek S-flow range of instruments consists of compact, bench-top automated viscometry systems for the analysis of used and new lubricants. It is also the ideal system for used oil analysis laboratories that need to test a wide range of lubricant viscosities. Additionally, S-flow systems are used for analysis of fuels like diesel, bunker fuel and bio-fuel (feedstock), hydraulic and metal working fluids and even gelatins and inks.

Features

Applicable for fuels, base oils, formulated oils, and petroleum products as well as water-based fluids

Test Method

The kinematic viscosity characterizes flow behavior. This method covers the measurement of kinematic viscosity of transparent and opaque liquids; such as base oils, formulated oils, diesel oil, biodiesel blends, residual fuel oils, marine fuels, and used lubricating oils using an automated Houillon viscometer.

Electrical Requirements

115V 60Hz
230V 50Hz
