The Viscotek DSV measures the relative viscosity of dilute polymer solutions using a two capillary viscometer design. The system is fast, accurate and precise. It is available with several automation options and has the ability to self-calibrate and self-clean for reliable, operator-independent viscosity measurements.
The dual capillary design of this system measures the difference in solution viscosity between the solvent and the sample directly and simultaneously. This eliminates any differences due to temperature change, calibration or operator.
Since it uses less solvent than traditional glass-tube systems, the DSV offers a more economical, environmentally friendly and safe method to measure polymer solution viscosity
