Rotational parallel plate viscoMeter

A rotational parallel plate viscometer drives a plate to rotate within a sample via a motor, measuring the shear resistance of the fluid against the plate to calculate viscosity. It is used for detecting the viscosity of fluids such as coatings and inks, ensuring quality control in production processes.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the sample viscosity range with the instrument's measurement range, ensuring the plate size suits the sample characteristics, the temperature control system meets the testing environment requirements, the operation interface aligns with user habits, and account for maintenance costs and brand service support.
