ASTM D7279 Automated Kinematic Viscometer By Houillon Method
ASTM D7279 Automated Kinematic Viscometer by Houillon Method
I. Overview
This houillon kinematic viscosity tester complies with ASTM D7279 standards, delivering results consistent with ASTM D445 and GB/T265 methods. Featuring a modular design, it integrates high-precision sensors, advanced AD conversion circuits, and industrial-grade 32-bit RISC microprocessors for ultra-low power consumption and reliable communication. The system combines streamlined software with robust hardware to automate temperature control, liquid-level detection, timing, calculations, and printing.

Working Principle
Under the conditions specified by ASTM D7279, D445 and D446, the sample to be tested is injected into the folded tube viscometer through the sampler. It is automatic timing through interval between the upper and lower detection lines of the sample passing through the viscosity tube, the viscosity value is obtained and stored after using the time multiply by the viscosity tube coefficient.
