No, the specifications of the Labtron Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester LKV-A14 do not mention a transparent safety viewing window. However, the unit is equipped with LED lighting to ensure that the viscometer scale is clearly visible for easy readings.
Yes, the Labtron Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester LKV-A14 includes LED lighting inside the constant temperature bath. This makes it easier for users to observe the viscometer scale, ensuring more accurate and convenient reading of viscosity results.
Yes, the Labtron Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester LKV-A14 is equipped with a stirring motor that ensures even distribution of temperature throughout the bath. This feature maintains uniformity, which is essential for achieving precise and repeatable viscosity measurements.
No, the Labtron Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester LKV-A14 does not specify a removable cover for contamination protection. The instrument instead focuses on precise temperature control and accurate viscosity testing, with built-in lighting and stirring features for ease of use.
Yes, the Labtron Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester LKV-A14 uses an electronic controller that balances both heating and cooling systems to maintain precise bath temperatures. This ensures stable operation and accurate viscosity testing under different conditions.
No, the Labtron Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester LKV-A14 is a manual standalone unit and does not include dedicated software for data acquisition or reporting. The readings are taken directly using the viscometers inside the bath, making the system straightforward and easy to operate.
The Labtron Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester LKV-A14 has dimensions of 530 × 460 × 870 mm. Its compact benchtop design makes it suitable for laboratory environments where space efficiency is important, while still delivering accurate viscosity testing at low temperatures.
Yes, the Labtron Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester LKV-A14 complies with GB/T265 and SY/T5651, which are equivalent to the widely recognized ASTM D445 standard. This ensures that the instrument delivers reliable and accurate viscosity testing results in line with international testing requirements.
The Labtron Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester LKV-A14 offers a temperature range of –65 °C to room temperature, which matches the requirement for ASTM D2532. However, the official specification does not list ASTM D2532 certification. Therefore, compliance is considered partial, as the instrument meets the temperature requirement but does not have explicit certification under this standard.
The Labtron Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester LKV-A14 is designed to hold two viscometers simultaneously, but it is fitted to work with Pinkevitch viscometers instead of Cannon-Fenske viscometers. Pinkevitch viscometers are functionally similar and provide equally reliable results, making the system efficient for dual-sample testing under controlled low-temperature conditions.
The Labtron Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester LKV-A14 supports an operating temperature range from –65 °C to room temperature. This wide range exceeds the ASTM D2532 requirement of –54 °C to +15 °C, allowing laboratories to conduct viscosity testing with greater flexibility and accuracy, especially at extremely low temperatures.
The constant temperature bath of the Labtron Low Temperature Kinematic Viscosity Tester LKV-A14 offers a stability of ±0.1 °C. While this is highly precise for most testing needs, it is slightly less accurate than the ASTM D2532 requirement of ±0.03 °C over 72 hours. However, the stability provided is still sufficient for reliable kinematic viscosity measurements in various applications.
