Pointer-type viscoMeter

A pointer viscometer drives a rotor to rotate in the liquid via a rotating shaft, and the viscous resistance of the liquid causes the pointer to deflect, displaying the viscosity value. It is used for on-site rapid testing of fluid viscosity, such as paints and inks, offering simple operation and portability.
Selection
Select the measuring range based on the viscosity range of the material being tested, and choose a rotor made of stainless steel or special materials considering the corrosiveness of the material. For measurements requiring constant temperature, optional temperature control accessories should be selected. Regularly calibrate the pointer accuracy using standard oil.
