Comparison table of rotor speed and test range of each model

For viscosity measurement of unknown samples, the viscosity value of the sample should be estimated first. Then select the corresponding groups of rotors and rotational speed combinations for measurement. When the approximate viscosity value of the tested fluid cannot be estimated, it should be assumed that the viscosity value of the sample is relatively high, and the test should be carried out with the rotor from small to large (volume) and the speed from slow to fast.

The principles of viscosity measurement are:

  • High-viscosity fluids use small (volume) rotors and slow speeds;

  • Low-viscosity fluids use large (volume) rotors and fast speeds;


Please refer to the following table for the test range corresponding to the combination of each type of rotor and speed:
