Thixotropic Gel ViscoMeter

The thixotropic viscometer measures the relationship between shear stress and shear rate by rotating a rotor within the colloid. Its function is to quantify the property of the colloid where viscosity decreases under force and recovers after standing still. It is applied in controlling the fluidity of materials such as paints and inks.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the colloidal viscosity range to the instrument's measurement range, ensuring the degree of thixotropy corresponds to adjustable shear rates, meeting sample temperature control requirements, matching rotor shape to container size, and ensuring the data reading method aligns with operational habits.
