SpectroVISC Q300
AUTOMATIC VISCOMETER
Kinematic Viscosity Measurement of Used and New Oil

The SpectroVISC Q300 is a bench-top
semi-automatic kinematic temperature
bath viscometer optimized for the analysis
of used and new lubricants. It conforms
to the requirements in ASTM D445, D446,
D7279, IP 71 and ISO 3104. It is also
the ideal system for used oil analysis
laboratories that need to test a wide
range of lubricant viscosities.

A fast, accurate, and cost effective instrument for the
determination of kinematic viscosity in used oils and other fluids.
The SpectroVISC Q300 is a self-contained viscometer system that consists of a thermostatic
bath with circular heater and a control column. The bath contains four patented viscometer
tubes together with optical sensors to detect the flow of oil through the tubes. All measuring
tubes function independently of each other. The control column has an LCD display that
provides the user with information about the system’s status and an array of LED’s indicate
the current status of each measuring tube. An optional external computer can also be used
to control the system for applications where more extensive data handling requirements are
necessary.
The user of the SpectroVISC Q300 has the option to operate in two modes, standard
viscosity determinations or measuring tube calibration. In both modes, the user chooses how
many determinations have to be made for an average result. Additional parameters such as
tube constants, and cleaning cycle are also controlled by the operator.
