Spectro Scientific MiniVisc 3050 portable viscometer, 800-00138
The MiniVisc 3050 portable viscometer (part number 800-00138) is a temperature-controlled, battery-operated kinematic viscometer designed for on-site measurement of lubricant viscosity. It provides direct kinematic viscosity determination at 40°C using a patented split-cell design and requires only a few drops of sample for rapid, solvent-free analysis in field or laboratory environments. Typical use cases include immediate assessment of oil condition, detection of contamination or fluid mix-ups, and routine route-based oil analysis where fast, portable results are required.
Key Features:
- Model: MiniVisc 3050
- Part number: 800-00138
- Measurement range: 1 cSt – 700 cSt (at 40°C)
- Test temperature: 40°C ± 0.1°C
- Sample volume: 60 µL (approx. 4 drops)
- Weight: less than 1.8 kg (4 lbs.)
- Battery operation: >6 hours runtime; built-in universal charger
Advantages:
- Very small sample requirement (60 µL) minimizes fluid waste and simplifies sampling
- Precise temperature control (40°C ±0.1°C) yields consistent, repeatable kinematic viscosity results
- Portable, lightweight, and battery-powered for true field use without solvents or external equipment
- Solvent-free operation eliminates need for solvent handling and disposal

Spectro Scientific
Spectro Scientific, an ISO 9001:2015 company, specializes in analytical tools and software for machine condition monitoring. The company is one of the largest suppliers of oil, fuel and fluid analysis instruments to industry and the military worldwide. Industry clients include petrochemical, mining, marine and power generation companies as well as commercial testing laboratories. Spectro Scientific’s extensive product offerings include spectrometers for wear metal analysis, lubricant degradation and contamination analyzers, particle analysis instruments and complete turnkey systems for oil or fuel analysis laboratories, all managed by its SpectroTrack software platform.
Spectro Scientific develops a broad array of fluid analysis instruments for evaluating machine and lubricant condition in the field, in the lab and in highly mobile, handheld applications. The instruments provide critical data about an engine’s condition and can provide an early warning of engine failure. Capturing, analyzing and trending this data on Spectro Scientific products enable you to:
- Schedule maintenance before a failure occurs
- Avoid the expense of maintenance you don’t need
- Avoid the disruption of taking an engine out of service unnecessarily
The result is higher equipment availability, greater productivity, lower maintenance costs, lower total cost of ownership, fewer outages, optimal equipment performance, and greener operation – all empowered by accurate fluid analysis.
