Zeitfuchs Cross-Arm Viscometer, Size 1

Zeitfuchs Cross-Arm Viscometer, Size 1

The Zeitfuchs Cross-Arm Viscometer, Size 1, is a precision instrument engineered for accurate kinematic viscosity measurements in both transparent and opaque liquids. Ideal for laboratory and field testing, this viscometer is specifically designed to handle demanding applications such as testing bitumen and road oils at 140°F (60°C) and asphalt cements at 275°F (135°C). It fully conforms to ASTM D2170/2170M standards, making it an essential tool for quality control in asphalt and petroleum testing.

With a viscosity range of 0.6 to 3 centistokes (cSt) and an approximate constant of 0.003 cSt/s, this viscometer delivers exceptional measurement precision of ±0.2%. Its cross-arm design is a standout feature, allowing the instrument to be filled and cleaned while remaining immersed in a constant temperature bath, significantly reducing downtime and streamlining the testing workflow. Only a small sample volume of 1 to 3mL is required, making it both efficient and cost-effective for routine testing.

A minimum bath immersion depth of 9in (230mm) is required to achieve accurate temperature equilibrium, ensuring consistent and reliable results. Each viscometer is individually calibrated by trained technicians and comes supplied with a Certificate of Calibration, providing full traceability and compliance with industry standards.

This viscometer is compliant with multiple industry standards, including AASHTO T 201, ASTM D445, ASTM D446, and ASTM D2170/2170M, making it a versatile and reliable choice for a wide range of viscosity testing applications.
