For Weight-to-Weight Preparation of Polymer Solutions for Relative Viscosity Measurements
The semi-automated Solution Preparation System (SPS) uses gravimetric (weight-to-weight) rather than volumetric methodology to prepare polymer solutions for relative viscosity measurement. When coupled with an automated viscometer, the SPS provides a complete polymer analysis system.
- Elastomers
- Plastics

Features & Benefits
- Eliminates errors associated with variation in solvent density with temperature inherent in volumetric methodology
- Concentration accuracy is typically better than 0.02% for samples over 100 mL
- Eliminates errors due cumbersome manual weight and volume measurements
- Software permits convenient user configuration of multiple sample/solvent recipes
- SPS software for Windows® makes solution preparation rapid and simple
- Solution preparation time: 2 minutes
- Does not require use of volumetric glassware
- Software automatically calculates the appropriate amount of solvent and adds it to the sample container on the balance.
- All sample information is stored for future reference.
