High-Performance Rotational Viscometer

High-Performance Rotational Viscometer

Engineered for precision and reliability, the High-Performance Rotational Viscometer is the go-to instrument for measuring viscosity across a wide range of applications. With a viscosity range of 2 to 140,000,000 mPa.s and a torque range from 0.05 to 30mNm, this instrument delivers highly accurate and repeatable results. The rotation speed is fully adjustable from 0.3 to 1,500rpm, offering unmatched flexibility for a variety of testing scenarios.

Designed with the modern laboratory in mind, this viscometer features a large 7-inch touchscreen for intuitive control input and clear data display. Real-time readings are shown in multiple units including Pa.s, mPa.s, and cP, with additional displays for speed, torque, shear stress, shear rate, time, and temperature. The interface supports multiple languages, making it suitable for international use.

Advanced Programming and Control

The device offers greater programming, recording, and instrument control functionality than standard viscometers. Individual spindle programs can be stored and recalled for convenient, repeatable testing. Password protection allows administrators to manage operator access and protect sensitive settings and data. With optional software installed, the unit can also regulate thermal controllers for precise temperature management during testing.

Versatile Connectivity and Data Management

The viscometer is equipped with multiple data connection options including mini-USB, RS232, USB, and ethernet (LAN) ports, enabling seamless PC control, printing, and diagnostics. Basic data logging software is included, allowing data to be transferred in spreadsheet format to a PC or sent directly to a local printer via USB. For more advanced needs, optional software is available separately, offering enhanced computer control, data analysis, and comprehensive reporting capabilities.

Temperature Monitoring

Sample temperature data is captured via a built-in PT100 (RTD) temperature probe, with the option to connect external PT100 probes for added flexibility. This ensures precise temperature monitoring throughout the testing process, which is critical for accurate viscosity measurements.

Accessories and Customization

The viscometer accepts a wide variety of test spindles and sample chamber combinations, allowing users to create a customized testing system tailored to their specific needs. This versatility makes it ideal for testing a broad range of materials, from thin fluids to highly viscous substances such as asphalt binders.
