The TQC Sheen Rotothinner Rotational Viscometer can be used in 3 modes: manual mode, maximum hold mode and timed mode.
The superior stable drive system creates a wider measurement range and more accurate readings. The instrument is highly accurate and easy to use, making it suitable for both research and production environments.
The Rotothinner Rotational Viscometer can easily and continuously detect material viscosity during the process of adding solvents and diluents to measure RFU viscosity. The Rotothinner Rotational Viscometer provides three different test ranges according to different rotating axes.
The Rotothinner Rotational Viscometer can also perform viscosity analysis at a user-selected time to obtain accurate data on shear performance, making it ideal for use in a production environment or laboratory.
A Rotational Viscometer has three measuring ranges:
Rotothinner⢠is available in a variety of spindles*. There are three spindles available: one plate spindle and two ball spindles. These spindles cover three measuring ranges.
The plate spindle is used to determine the viscosity of fluids from 0 to 22 poise.
The large ball spindle can be used for measurements between 0-75 poise.
The small ball spindle is suitable for measurements between 0-350 poise.
In addition to spindles, a range of proven oil kits are available, complying with ISO 2884 and BS 3900 A7 standards.

operate
The supplied tin container is filled with sample fluid and placed on a magnetic ring mounted on top of the base. Immerse the spindle into the sample fluid by lowering the handle. When the handle reaches the lowest point, the spindle begins to rotate at the set constant speed. The display shows the actual measured viscosity in poise.
reading
Readings for free-flowing fluids will stabilize quickly. More structured materials will require more time because the spindle will exert shear forces that affect the readings. That's why Rotothinner offers a variety of reading presets. Manual reading begins when the handle is at its lowest point. Continuous readings give continuous measurements. The Max Hold function displays the maximum reading, while the Read Time function provides the opportunity to automatically take readings at set intervals. An automatic display hold feature can be used to freeze readings for easier recording.
Easy to clean
After taking a reading, the handle can be raised to the level where the spindle is just below the edge of the sample container. This provides the operator with the opportunity to separate the sample material. When the handle is raised to a greater extent, the spindle automatically closes. Quick release chuck allows quick spindle changes and simplifies instrument and spindle cleaning.
Accurate and Repeatable The Rotothinner is microprocessor controlled, ensuring greater accuracy and repeatability. Automatic multi-point calibration improves accuracy.
