SpectroVISC Q310
DUAL BATH AUTOMATIC VISCOMETER
Viscosity & Viscosity Index Measurement of Used Oil

The SpectroVISC Q310 is a self-contained,
bench-top automatic kinematic temperature
dual bath viscosity measuring system
that is ideal for in-service oil analysis
laboratories that need to test a wide range
of lubricant viscosities in a relatively short
analysis cycle. The system conforms to the
precise requirements of ASTM D445, D446,
D7279, IP 71, ISO 3104 and ASTM D2270
for calculating viscosity index.

A fast, accurate, and cost effective instrument for
thedetermination of kinematic viscosity and viscosity index of
used oils and other fluids.
The SpectroVISC Q310 is a dual-bath system that performs measurements at two
temperatures with the ability to calculate the Viscosity Index, based on the results from
the two individual baths. Controlled through an advanced central touch screen display, all
parameters can be easily accessed. The system is so compact that it only takes 60% of the
space of two single systems, saving valuable laboratory space.
The SpectroVISC Q310 consists of two thermostatic baths with circular heaters and a control
column. The two baths each contain four patented viscometer tubes and optical sensors to
detect the flow of oil through the tubes. All measuring tubes function independently of each
other. The control column has a touch-screen display that provides the user with information
about system status, and an array of LED’s indicate the current status of each measuring
tube. An optional external computer can also be used to control the system for applications
where more extensive data handling requirements are necessary.
