ViscoCIock plus - Measurement plus data storage
The ViscoCIock plus is an electronic timing unit for glass capillary viscometers used to determine kinematic
and relative viscosity. Succeeding the well-proven ViscoCIock, the new instrument features data storage
and simpler handling. The ViscoClock plus is especially designed for Ubbelohde type viscometers which
are well-known for highest precision.
The ViscoCIock plus

The ViscoClock plus automatically measures the flow time of temperature-stabilized liquids in capillary
viscometers by means of infrared light barriers: the manual measurement with a stopwatch becomes
obsolete.
The viscometer including a sample is inserted into the ViscoClock plus and immersed into a thermostatic
bath for temperature stabilization. After thermostating, the sample is pumped into the measuring bulb,
and the flow time is detected automatically. The large display enables easy read-off of flow times and
additional information: date, time, sample ID and viscometer ID.
ViscoCloc
ViscoClock plus - head
25
Automatic measurement of flow times
The ViscoCIock plus is designed for SI Analytics® Ubbelohde, Micro Ubbelohde and Micro Ostwald
viscometers. The flow time is measured automatically by two infrared light barriers which detect the
passing liquid meniscus. The repeatability of the automatic time measurement is considerably higher in
comparison to the measurement using a stop watch. Therefore some viscometry standards allow a flow
time reduction in case of automatic flow time measurement.
Properties and materials

The ViscoCIock plus can be used for measuring temperatures ranging from -40 °C to 150 °C. The stand of
the ViscoClock plus ist made of high quality polymer PPA. For temperature stabilization in a thermostatic
bath, the following liquids are suitable: Water, alcohol, glycol, paraffin oil, and silicon oil.
The electronic measuring unit is built-in to a PP casing.
Easy handling
The ventilation of Ubbelohde viscometers is managed by an electromechanic valve which makes handling
easier in comparison to the mechanical mechanism of the previous ViscoClock.
Data storage
The measuring results of the ViscoClock plus can be stored on a USB flash drive including date, time and
sample/viscometer ID. The data are stored as pdf (non-editable) and csv (editable). Alternatively, for data
transfer the ViscoClock plus can be connected to a printer (TZ 3863) or a PC.

ViscoCIock plus - The plus for your measurements
Sample and viscometer identification
ViscoClo
To allocate the stored measuring results, the user can enter 2-digit numbers to the ViscoClock plus
before measurement. These IDs – together with date and time – ensure an unambiguous assignment of
the flow times.
Absolute viscosity
To determine absolute kinematic viscosities, calibrated viscometers have to be used. To guarantee best
accuracy, viscometers which were calibrated by automatic measurement should be used. The constant
of automatic calibration can be slightly different in comparison to manual calibration, as the level of the
light barriers may not be identical to the position of timing marks.
Relative viscosity
For determination of relative viscosities, calibrated as well as non-calibrated viscometers can be used.
For evaluation, the calibration constant is not required in this case.

… easy, reliable and safe
This means that it is not only possible to simultaneously test

the characteristics of samples with greatly differing viscosi-
ties, but also to perform measurements in various capillary
sizes and different types of viscometers. This even applies to
a combination of optical and thermal scanning. Therefore,
preliminary sorting of the samples with regard to viscosity
and the size of capillary required for the testing process is
not necessary.
It is possible to “individually” allocate each sample to a capil-

lary viscometer that is currently being used by means of the
conventional MS-Windows® “drag and drop” method.
The allocation between the sample and the viscometer is

shown on the status display. ›options‹

A PVDF coating upgrade is available for the PolyVISC
instrument. The AIRBATH Chamber interior is coated
with this durable polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)
compound. The upgrade permits testing with highly
aggressive solvents, including concentrated sulfuric
acid. The PVDF coating upgrade also includes a
PTFE wash platform and solid PTFE sample carrier

In conjuction with an aluminum foil seal, the rubber
inserts enhance test precision for
highly volatile samples by preventing evaporation that can
affect the concentration of the polymer solution. The design
also helps to reduce toxic and/or corrosive vapors in the

and the rubber inserts wipe the exterior of the viscometer
tube as it is withdrawn from the vial, further reducing the risk
of cross-contamination when performing multiple sample

CANNON® PolyVISC® SPS Solution Preparation System
l Prepares polymer solutions for relative viscosity

measurements using weight-to-weight methodology
l Eliminates errors due to variations in solvent density
and cumbersome manual weight and volume
measurements
l Provides concentration accuracy often better than
±0.02%
The PolyVISC® SPS Solution Preparation System from CANNON

Instrument Company is a semi-automated solution preparation system
that uses gravimetric rather than volumetric methodology. The SPS can
be used with the CANNON PolyVISC® Automatic Viscometer to
provide a complete polymer analysis system.
Why Gravimetric Measurement?
When manual volumetric methods of preparing solutions are
employed, variations of solvent density with temperature can lead to
errors larger than the error inherent in the subsequent analytical
procedure. In the PolyVISC SPS Solution Preparation System, the
solvent is weighed rather than measured volumetrically, eliminating
errors due to variations in solvent density. For samples over 100 mL,
concentration accuracy is often better than ± 0.02 percent.
When solutions are prepared using the gravimetric method, the
solution concentration can be expressed in units of volume when the
density of the solvent is known. Thus, it is possible for the PolyVISC SPS
CANNON® PolyVISC® SPS Solution Preparation System Solution Preparation System to prepare solutions for procedures
written for the volumetric method.
PolyVISC® SPS components
A computer-controlled burette pump and proprietary PolyVISC SPS software are at the heart of the Solvent Preparation System.
The software permits convenient user configuration of multiple sample/solvent recipes. Other required system components
(ordered separately) include a Windows-compatible computer and an electronic balance. A number of digital electronic
balances having an RS-232 (COM) output are compatible with the SPS software package.
Solution Preparation
SPS software for Windows® makes solution preparation rapid and simple. No volumetric glassware is used. After the sample ID
information is entered, and the user-configured recipe is selected, the operator places an empty container on the balance pan.
The container is weighed and the operator adds the amount of solute specified by the computer to the sample container. The
precise solute weight is obtained; then the computer calculates the appropriate amount of solvent and adds the solvent to the
sample container on the balance. Solution concentration is calculated by the software, and all sample information is stored on
the computer hard disk drive. A sample label can be printed.

All CANNON viscosity standards meet the precision specifications of ASTM D 445/446 and ISO 3104/3105, and are
traceable to the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). CANNON viscosity standards are manufactured and/or
certified in CANNON's ISO 9001:2000 registered and A2LA-accredited laboratory. A2LA has accredited CANNON for
technical competence in the field of calibration (certificate number 1262.01). The accreditation includes the determination of
kinematic and dynamic viscosity (including that of viscosity standards and customer samples) in accordance with ISO/IEC
17025-1999. All calibrations are based on the master viscometer procedures detailed in ASTM D 2162.
CANNON has been delegated by NIST to provide U.S. national measurement standards and to issue calibration
and measurement certificates for certified liquid viscosity reference standards.

CANNON DVR 1000 Series Digital Vacuum Regulators

ASTM D 2171
l Solid-State Components—Contains No Mercury

l Preset for Vacuum Viscometry per ASTM D 2171
l Horizontal or Vertical Configuration
l Convenient Keypad Controls
The CANNON DVR 1000 Series Digital Vacuum Regulators are designed for precise measurement and control of vacuum at
300 mm Hg below atmospheric pressure. Unlike other vacuum regulators, the solid-state DVR-1000 and DVR-1500 models
use no mercury.
The DVR meter displays the amount of vacuum in mm/Hg or one of nine other units of measurement selected using a keypad
on the meter.
In asphalt laboratories the Digital Vacuum Regulator (DVR) may be used in conjunction
with Cannon-Manning, Asphalt Institute, and Modified Koppers vacuum viscometers for
measurement of highly viscous materials such as asphalt cement at 60°C (140°F) according
to ASTM D 2171. The DVR is also useful in other laboratory systems where accurate
measurement and control of vacuum is required.
Two basic versions of the DVR are available. The DVR-1500 is equipped with an internal
vacuum pump and does not require an external vacuum source. The DVR-1000 uses the
customer’s in-house vacuum system.
The internal set points for the instrument gauge are preset at CANNON to regulate
vacuum at 300 ± 0.5 mm Hg below atmospheric pressure (the vacuum required by
ASTM D 2171). These set points may be altered to fit the user’s specific needs within the
DVR’s operating range of 28 to 410 mm
Hg below atmospheric pressure.
Both the DVR-1000 and DVR-1500 are
available in either horizontal or vertical
configurations (the horizontal version will
support the weight of a constant
temperature bath like the CANNON
CT-1000 or CT-2000).
The instrument housing is made of durable
enameled steel and is supported on non-slip
rubber feet.

l Ideal for Laboratory and Pilot Scale

Distillation Columns
l High Efficiency Design
l Unique Wetting Properties
l Atmospheric and Reduced Pressure
Distillation Applications
Pro-Pak is a high efficiency distillation column packing

with unique wetting properties. Applications range
from laboratory and pilot plant distillation columns to
those used in small manufacturing plants. Pro-Pak is
self wetting, so equilibrium time is reduced —
distillations can be stopped and started without lengthy
delay. The entire surface of the packing is available for
mass transfer, contributing to its high efficiency. The
shape of the packing eliminates interlocking and
makes filling and emptying the column as easy as
pouring water.
Pro-Pak is formed from metal ribbon through which
CANNON Pro-Pak Distillation Packing more than 1000 tiny holes per square inch have been
punched. As the points of the die push through the
metal, jagged burrs are formed on the reverse side of
the ribbon. Pro-Pak’s self-wetting properties derive from a rectangular network of capillaries on the surface of the metal,
produced by the combined effect of the holes in the ribbon and the roughness of the burrs. These properties ensure that
Pro-Pak stays wet in service in the distillation column and retains its high efficiency. Because the surface area of the packing
remains effective under low liquid loadings, high column efficiency is maintained at vapor velocities very much lower than the
flooding velocity.
Pro-Pak can be used for both atmospheric and reduced pressure distillations down to 10 mm Hg condenser pressure. As the
operating pressure decreases, efficiency increases. The HETP (height equal to a theoretical plate) varies from 0.5 inch to 1.4
inch in a 1-inch diameter column, depending on operating pressure and reflux rate.
The large surface area made effective by the wettability of Pro-Pak allows for efficient mass transfer between the liquid and
vapor phases. The surface area is approximately 576 square feet per cubic foot for the 0.16-inch size and 372 square feet per
cubic foot for the 0.24-inch size. The packing factor is 693 for the 0.16-inch size and 420 for the 0.24-inch size.
High free space is especially important in vacuum distillation (for reduction of pressure drop) and in extractive distillation and
absorption (where high liquid or vapor loading is common). Pro-Pak has high free space: 94% for the 0.16-inch size and 96%
for the 0.24-inch size. Because of its high free space, Pro-Pak has a high flood rate.
In addition to type 316 stainless steel packing, listed below, Pro-Pak is also available in Monel, nickel, and other metals on
special order. Discounts are provided for bulk quantities.
CANNON manufactures special interdistributor screens and hold down screens that provide optimum efficiency for Pro-Pak
columns. These screens are manufactured on a custom basis to fit any specified column diameter.
Our Pro-Pak technical bulletin contains additional information. A free sample of Pro-Pak can also be supplied. Please contact
CANNON to receive a free copy of the Pro-Pak bulletin and a sample of the packing.

ASTM D445 - ASTM D2162 - ISO/EN 3104 - IP 71 - DIN 51366
The TV4000LT and TV7000LT are unique visibility baths with wide
dimensions. Working temperature ranges from -40°C up to +100°C.
The integrated cooling system is able to lower the temperature of
the bath content down to -40°C within approximately two hours. The
cooling power can be controlled over several stages, so that the heat
removal capacity is trimmed to the desired set point temperature,
saving up to 50% of energy. Due to its wide temperature range, the
bath can be used for multiple purposes varying from low temperature
viscosity measurement to calibration of sensors and thermometers.
The large windows show the bath contents clearly. The windows are
heated preventing built up of condensate. The maximum temperature
lies around +100°C. Overall accuracy is better than ± 0.02°C over the
whole temperature range. Ambient temperature drifts <0.003°C/°C.
The homogeneity is better than 0.02°C. Drift, accuracy and
homogeneousness were measured with methanol as bath medium and
are true min-max values found over eight hours. The TV7000LT can be
used to calibrate long thermometers or to calibrate hydrometers.

ASTM D445 - ISO/EN 3104 - IP 71 - DIN 51366 - ASTM D2532
The TLV25 system contains a 25 litres Dewar flask. The fluid in this
flask must permanently be cooled by a separate immersion cooler
when using at temperatures below ambient. The temperature set point
is maintained via a microprocessor controlled heating element. When
using the TCC-IC, a minimum working temperatures of -80°C can be
reached. All presented data is measured by using a TLV25 filled with
methanol and a TCC-IC immersion cooler. At the minimum temperature,
the provided heat removal is still enough to maintain stable tempera
ture control, even when glass capillary viscometers are placed in the
bath. The systems accuracy is better than the requirements of ASTM
D445 and ISO 3104. The bath is illuminated by a fluorescent light built-
in behind the Dewar flask. The top lid has a turn table construction
with three openings and three lids. By turning the lid, the immersed
viscometer can be positioned in front of the window. This window is
heated to keep clear sight at sub zero temperatures. The set point can
be set in steps of 0.1°C from -90°C up to +60°C (-130..140°F). Overall
accuracy is better than ± 0.04K. Set-up of TLV25 and TCC-IC can also
be used for ASTM D2532.

1.16 ASTM D1298 Density by Hydrometer

ASTM D287 - ASTM D1298 - ASTM D6822 - IP 160 - ASTM E126 - API 2547 - ISO 3675
This specific method covers following laboratory determinations by

hydrometer method:
-Density,
-Relative density (specific gravity),
-American Petroleum Institute (gravity of crude petroleum
and liquid petroleum products).
A Tamson TLC15-5 refrigerator circulates a (cold) flow through the
double walls of the cylinders. The TLC15-5 maintains the bath
temperature within ± 0.25°C of the test temperature required by the
method. The PTFE valves ensure fast drainage and cleaning of the
cylinders. The easy detachable spill tray prevents that portions of the
sample are spilled on the workbench. The rack offers full view on the
hydrometer. Our special ASTM D1298 support eliminates the problem
of mounting brackets or portions of a thermostatic bath blocking the
view. The Tamson D1298 apparatus is a complete set-up existing of
three Jacketed glass cylinders, rack and TLC15-5 circulator. Our system
offers an interesting price advantage compared to other solutions
based on a combination of a thermostatic bath with an external chiller.
The ASTM D1298 set-up can also be used for ASTM D287 or ASTM ASTM D1298
D6822 test methods. Apparatus
