What are the selection factors of paint viscometer? What to pay attention to?

A paint viscometer is an instrument used to measure the viscosity of paint, paint raw materials and finished paint products. The measurement of paint viscosity can be used to control paint quality and consistency during production. The following is a detailed introduction to the key points and precautions for the selection of paint viscometers:

select points

Measuring range: The paint viscosity range is wide, so you need to choose a viscometer that suits your required measuring range. The measurement range of general paint viscometer is between 1-20000 mPa·s.

Accuracy: Accuracy is one of the important indicators of paint viscometer. A viscometer with sufficient accuracy needs to be selected to ensure accurate and repeatable measurement results.

Ease of Operation: The operation of a paint viscometer should be straightforward and easy to use. Some excellent paint viscometers have automated measurements and controls that reduce the impact of manual operations.

Principle: There are many principles of paint viscometer, such as rotary type, vibration type, pressure drop type, etc. The appropriate principle should be selected according to different measurement requirements.

Reliability and durability: The coating viscometer needs to be used frequently, so it is necessary to choose a viscometer with reliable quality and good durability to ensure the reliability and accuracy of long-term use.

Precautions

The operation should be standardized: the paint viscometer needs to pay attention to certain standard operation methods when using it, so as to avoid the influence on the test results.

Regular Calibration: Paint viscometers require regular calibration to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurement results.

Cleaning and maintenance: Paint viscometers require regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure long-term reliability and accuracy.

Applicability: The coating viscometer is suitable for various types of coatings, but some special coatings may require a special viscometer, and a suitable viscometer should be selected according to actual needs.

Storage environment: The coating viscometer needs to be stored in a dry, dust-proof, light-proof and well-ventilated environment to ensure long-term stability and reliability.
