UFIT develops and manufactures capillary viscosity systems for customers who cannot compromise on measurement accuracy, reproducibility, and availability. Our mission is to provide reliable viscosity data that enable better product quality, stable processes, and confident decisions.
We combine precise engineering with a practical understanding of laboratory and process environments. Every system is designed to be long-lasting, modular, and easy to maintain, so that customers achieve a low total cost of ownership over many years.
Our core values are:
- Precision: Capillary measurement solutions engineered for high accuracy and reproducibility.
- Reliability: Robust components, conservative design margins, and long-term serviceability.
- Partnership: Working closely with customers from first concept to ongoing support.
- Transparency: Clear communication about technical possibilities, limitations, and life-cycle costs.
- Responsibility: Safe and consistent operation in demanding industrial and laboratory environments.
The UFIT team brings together experience in capillary rheology, process engineering, and automation. Our engineers have designed and implemented viscosity measurement systems for laboratories, pilot plants, and industrial production lines across different industries.
Key competencies include:
- Design of capillary measurement setups for a wide range of viscosities and temperatures.
- Selection of chemically resistant components for aggressive and sensitive media.
- Integration of viscosity systems into existing laboratory infrastructure and process control systems.
- Data acquisition, evaluation, and interfacing to higher-level systems.
UFIT is internationally oriented. We support customers in English and German and are familiar with the expectations of both small specialized laboratories and global manufacturing companies.
UFIT follows a structured, transparent process from first contact to long-term operation. The goal is to develop a viscosity solution that fits both the measurement task and the practical constraints on site.
- Requirements analysis: We clarify media, viscosity range, temperature conditions, sample handling, and integration interfaces.
- Concept design: Based on the requirements, we design a suitable system setup, select components, and outline the modular system architecture.
- Quotation and refinement: We provide a detailed proposal including technical specification and options. Together with the customer, we refine the concept where needed.
- Engineering and assembly: UFIT engineers configure, assemble, and internally test the viscosity system according to the agreed specification.
- Commissioning: We support installation and commissioning, either remotely or on site, and verify that the system performs as specified.
- Training and documentation: Users receive practical training and clear documentation for operation, maintenance, and calibration.
- Service and long-term support: We remain available for questions, upgrades, and service to keep the system reliable over its entire life cycle.
- Use of proven, industry-grade components from established suppliers.
- Traceable assembly and test steps for each system before delivery.
- Calibration and verification procedures based on certified viscosity standards.
- Clear documentation of operating limits, maintenance, and recommended calibration intervals.
- customer satisfaction,
- continuous improvement of quality and services, and
- compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

UFIT was founded with a clear focus: to make capillary viscosity measurement robust and practical for demanding applications. Early projects addressed situations where conventional viscometers could not deliver the required precision or long-term stability.
Over time, these projects evolved into a modular product platform covering laboratory viscometers and dedicated components such as temperature control modules and tubing sets. Step by step, the portfolio grew based on real customer challenges rather than abstract concepts.
Today, UFIT systems are used in laboratories and production environments that require high accuracy, reproducibility, and uptime. The same engineering principles that guided the first prototypes still apply: conservative design, careful material selection, and an emphasis on maintainability and upgrades over the system life time.
Looking ahead, UFIT continues to refine its capillary viscosity technology and to develop new modules that simplify integration, data handling, and compliance with evolving quality requirements.
If you are planning a new viscosity measurement setup or want to improve or replace an existing installation, UFIT is ready to support you from the first technical discussion to long-term operation.
Describe your media, viscosity range, and process environment, and we will work with you to determine the UFIT system or component configuration that best fits your requirements.
