The STM-IV Stormer Viscometer is a testing instrument specially used to measure the viscosity of fluids such as paints and coatings in Krebs units (KU value). Viscosity values ââin Krebs units (KU), grams units (gm) and centipoise (cP) can be cycled through the function keys on the blue backlit LCD display.
This instrument uses a 16-bit microprocessor core control circuit. The paddle rotor rotates at a speed of 200 rpm. The resistance torque it experiences in the fluid being measured is converted into a KU value by the computer and displayed directly on the screen. Refer to ASTM D562 Industrial standard, can be converted between KU, gm and cP.
