The UIC Model 929 Semi-Automatic Viscosity System can determine the viscosities of up to 12 samples simultaneously and independently.

A modular system, the Model 929 can be configured for your specific needs. Whether you want to upgrade your manual viscosity determinations, compliment your fully automated system, or cost-effectively increase your productivity and accuracy, the Model 929 is the right instrument for you.

A standard system consists of a 12-position controller with an LCD screen and compact keyboard, a lighted, 7-position constant temperature bath, and 6 viscometer tubes with proprietary, removable electro-optical sensor assemblies attached.

This system can be used to determine the kinematic and dynamic viscosity of any transparent or opaque Newtonian fluid in the range of 0.3 to 100,000 centistokes.

Viscosity timing and calculations are automatically determined and reported in any user-selectable units. The calibration factor of each viscometer can be individually determined and stored and will remain unchanged as long as the position of the optical assembly is not moved and the glassware is clean.

The operator has complete freedom to control each viscometer independently and can utilize one or more in any sequence desired.

The Model 929 Controller and electro-optical viscometer assemblies operate in concert to accurately measure the elapsed time required for the meniscus of a Newtonian fluid to pass between two timing points at an equilibrated temperature. For a given set of equipment, the elapsed time is proportional to viscosity at a constant temperature.

Up to twelve such viscometers can be installed, each calibrated to read the chosen viscosity units as well as elapsed time for each analysis. The results are reported on the controller monitor and can be printed on an optional printer.

The Model 929 Kinematic Viscosity Bath provides the precise, reliable temperature control required by ASTM specifications. Simple push-button controls and dual digital displays permit easy setting and monitoring of bath temperature. Viewing the viscometers is made easy by glare-free fluorescent illumination inside the bath and a baffle that provides a background for easy viewing. Temperature control uniformity is assured by means of a motorized stirrer which provides complete circulation without turbulence.

Safety features include integrated, redundant over temperature protection and low-liquid level power cut off which protect the operator, the equipment and the integrity of the viscometer assemblies.
