How to choose a portable viscometer?

Portable viscometers are typically small, lightweight, easily portable devices used for viscosity testing outside of the laboratory. The following is a detailed introduction to the selection points and precautions:

select points

Test range: Choose a portable viscometer suitable for the viscosity range of your test object to ensure the accuracy of the test viscosity.

Accuracy and repeatability: The accuracy and repeatability of a portable viscometer is one of the key indicators for evaluating its performance. You can understand its accuracy and repeatability by checking the product specification sheet.

Measurement method: choose the test method you need, generally there are various methods such as rotary type, vibration type and compression type.

Reliability and durability: Portable viscometers need to be used in complex environments, so it is necessary to choose products with reliability and durability.

Ease of operation: Choose products that are easy to operate and use, and recommend easy-to-understand instructions to avoid test errors.

Precautions

• Viscometers require regular calibration to ensure their accuracy and reliability.

• Before use, please read the instructions carefully to understand the usage methods and precautions.

• Before testing, please return the viscometer to room temperature and warm it up.

• Wind, vibration and other disturbances should be avoided during the test, otherwise the accuracy of the test results will be affected.

• During use, avoid exposing the viscometer to corrosive substances such as chemicals, acids, alkalis, and solvents.

• During use and storage, the viscometer should be placed in a dry, clean place and avoid high temperature, so as to avoid the viscometer from being affected by moisture or high temperature, which may cause inaccurate testing.
