Thixotropic Gel Viscosity Tester

The thixotropic gel viscometer measures viscosity by rotating a measuring head within the colloid and recording the resistance value, which is then converted into viscosity. It is used to detect the property of fluids such as coatings and inks thickening when left undisturbed and thinning when stirred, guiding production adjustments for leveling and storage stability.
Selection
When selecting, consider that the measurement range should match the material's viscosity range, the rotor specifications should suit the sample characteristics, the temperature control accuracy should meet the testing conditions, the data interface should be compatible with recording needs, and the operational procedures should align with the user's habits.
