The Cone Plate Viscometer (CP1) is the standard test for dynamic viscosity measurement. It is faster and more accurate by using a new high-precision microprocessor control. Since non-Newtonian fluids exhibit different viscosities relative to the applied shear rate, the cone plate viscometer strictly controls them to 10,000S-1 (B.S./ISO requirements) 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 temperature sensitive, the sample is placed on a temperature control plate that can be set between 5°C and 65°C.
There is no cone kit for the conical and base units. The cone kit is ordered separately.
• Interchangeable cones for easy installation with quick-release chucks for easy cleaning
• Available in four units: 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 (for any cone of certified oils) 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.
