The ViscoLab 3000 is all that is needed — no separate, bulky, slow-to-respond water bath system is needed. Applications include R&D, quality control labs, and measuring oil viscosity for VI Index. ![Viscosity Range Icon](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/hubfs/icon%20green-drops.png "Viscosity Range Icon") Viscosity Range: 0.2-20,000cP ![Temperature Range Icon](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/hubfs/icons/icon%20green%20thermometer.png "Temperature Range Icon") Temperature Range: Up to 190° C ![Wetted Materials Icon](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/hubfs/200x200-oil-analysis-1.png "Wetted Materials Icon") Wetted Materials: 316L and 430 stainless steel ![Maximum Particle Size Icon](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/hubfs/icon%20green%20particles.png "Maximum Particle Size Icon") Maximum Particle Size: 360 microns  ![Small Footprint Icon](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/hubfs/icon%20green-footprint.png "Small Footprint Icon") Small Footprint: 12" x 10" [ Talk to an Industry Expert About Your Requirements ](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/contact-human-viscometer-inquiries) ![VISCOlab3000-System-1](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/hubfs/VISCOlab3000-System-1.png "VISCOlab3000-System-1") ![VISCOlab 3000 image](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/hubfs/Cambridge_Viscosity_Oct_2016/Images/VL3000_High_Res-resized-600.jpg "VISCOlab 3000 image") ### What will your viscometer look like?

The temperature range of this temperature-controlled viscometer can be extended to -40°C with the optional cooling jacket coupled with an appropriate cooling bath. The sensor is easily field-calibrated and supports any of 13 different viscosity ranges from 0.2-20,000cP (cSt), with up to 40 distinct temperature/viscosity calibrations. This is particularly useful in measuring oil viscosity for VI Index or in used oil analysis labs. The ViscoLab 3000 uses our innovative electromagnetic sensor and resistance temperature detector to deliver continuous viscosity, temperature, and temperature-compensated viscosity (TCV) readings. The electronics of this viscometer allow users to define temperature compensated viscosity equation values, data averaging interval, alarm points, density, and much more. This automated viscometer also incorporates our proprietary measurement and reporting software. This software eliminates operator error by measuring the sample multiple times unit the standard deviation over 20 measurements is less than 0.2% before displaying a viscosity value, thus insuring the highest accuracy and repeatability of any laboratory viscometer. **Options:** - Multiple ranges (one piston per range) - Insulator cap and sleeve (for operating temperatures above 80°C) - Cooling jacket (for re-circulation fluids) ![viscolab-3000-pds-thumbnail](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/hubfs/viscolab-3000-pds-thumbnail.png "viscolab-3000-pds-thumbnail") ### Download the Product Data Sheet ### Tell The Reader More When you need to accurately deliver measurements at user-defined temperatures ranging from slightly above ambient, all the way to 356°F (180°C), VISCOlab 3000 is the best choice.  - Bullets are great - For spelling out [benefits](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/temperature-controlled-viscometer#) and [![Download the ViscoLab 3000 Product Data Sheet](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2542477/aa98faab-f662-40e1-99d0-3a7620fca66b.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2542477/aa98faab-f662-40e1-99d0-3a7620fca66b) #### About Us Known for innovation in viscosity measurement and control, Cambridge Viscosity specializes in the industry's most accurate, reliable, and easy-to-use viscometers for research laboratories and process environments.  **[Discover Our Story](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/about-us)** #### Products [Laboratory Viscometers](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/laboratory-viscometers) [Process Viscometers](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/process-viscometers) [Viscosity Sensors](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/process-sensors) **[Explore Cutting-Edge Viscosity Solutions ](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/technology-small-sample-viscosity)** #### Resources [Blog](https://cambridgeviscosity-2542477.hs-sites.com/blog) [White Papers](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/white-papers) [Brochures & Data Sheets](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/quick-reference) [Videos](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/videos) [![LinkedIn icon](https://www.cambridgeviscosity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/icon_linkedin.png?width=30&name=icon_linkedin.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/265960/) #### Contact Us Cambridge Viscosity, Inc. 50 Redfield St, Suite 204 Boston, MA 02122 USA 781 393-6500 Email: [Sales@CambridgeViscosity.com](mailto:Sales@CambridgeViscosity.com)
