When the viscosity of a paint, such as a paint, is applied using a brush, roller or Spray Gun at a high shear rate, it shows a typical variation. By using a new high-precision microprocessor control, the standard test for this dynamic viscosity measurement is now faster and more accurate.
Since non-Newtonian fluids exhibit different viscosities relative to the applied shear rate, the cone plate viscometer strictly controls them as a standard test method; 10,000S-1(B.S. requirement) or 12,000S-1 (ASTM).
These are often thought of as representing paint applications through rollers or brushes, and therefore reflect "real world" applications. Since most viscosity measurements are very temperature sensitive, the sample is placed on a temperature control plate that can be set at 5 to 65 °C. The combination of the instrument's two standard speeds and the choice of five viscosity ranges allows for precise testing of a wide range of products according to national test methods.

• Interchangeable cone for easy installation with quick-release chuck for easy cleaning
• Readable P, cP, Pa.s or mPa.s
• Pre-selected or adjustable run time 5-59 seconds, manual or auto-start
• Fast temperature control, warm-up time adjustable 0-59 seconds
• Adjustable limit/tolerance settings with warnings
• User calibration: Viscosity (any cone used with certified oil) and temperature
• Memory for 100 readings, 3-digit adjustable sample identification, RS232 PC/printer data output
• Simple menu-guided/soft-key operation: cone range, parameter setting, readings, set point and plate temperature, speed, viscosity, sample identification, calibration, date
• Selectable modes: full-featured or simplified routines, security protection.
Note: The right cone kit for your application (including 5 certified calibration oils) can be ordered as a stand-alone accessory.
