The system makes use of a distinctive single position auto-sampling that offers integrated sample heating of up to 200 ✬ and utilizes a preheated solvent to efficiently clean the viscometer tube. Measurements are conducted with excellent accuracy and within acceptable temperature stability with the help of sophisticated temperature control. The kinematic viscosity is calculated by multiplying the. Fully opaque fluids without any challenges or limitations can be detected using these tubes, and the need to use reverse-flow tubes is eliminated, thanks to specially designed thermal sensors. The test consists in measuring the flow time of the sample through the calibrated capillary. Results are displayed on the large color touchscreen. The well-known and tested Ubbelohde design serves as the foundation for viscometer tubes. The fully automated measurement of the kinematic viscosity at 40 C or at 100 C takes only 1 minute. These units typically have the capability to automatically test kinematic and absolute viscosity in a wide range of temperatures as well as provide density and specific gravity calculations.

The BitUVisc is a member of the U-Visc family of completely automatic viscometer systems from Omnitek. This automatic kinematic viscometer model fully complies with ASTM D445 and D2170 and was specifically designed to address sample types that pose a great threat to automatic sampling, measurement, and cleaning as a result of their viscosity and high pour point. Kinematic viscosity of liquids (either fuel or lubricating oil) is measured using Kinematic Viscometer at 40oC. Several methods have been established for viscosity testing, and each has its advantages. With Omnitek BitUVisc it is possible to test samples with high viscosities what is considered "extreme samples" for the kinematic viscometer market.
