KU ViscoMeter

The KU viscometer measures fluid resistance by rotating a paddle in a sample and converts it into KU values. It is used to evaluate the flowability of coatings, inks, and other materials, guiding production adjustments and quality control.
Selection
Select the measurement range based on the viscosity range of the sample, considering temperature adaptability; prioritize metal blades and choose a digital display model for easy reading; verify compliance with industry standards and ensure convenient daily maintenance.

Stormer Viscometer for Determining Krebs Viscosity of Paints
This article introduces the method of measuring the Krebs viscosity value of colored paints using a Stormer viscometer. Viscosity is a key indicator that affects the application and storage of coatings. The Krebs unit (KU) quantifies viscosity based on the resistance encountered by a rotor as it rotates within the paint sample.
Stormer viscometer measures the KU viscosity of latex paint
This article introduces the method of measuring the KU viscosity of latex paint using a Stormer viscometer. The viscometer measures the load required to maintain a fixed rotational speed through the rotation of its paddle, thereby calculating the KU value, which is related to the application and storage properties of the coating.
Rotational Viscometer vs. Stormer Viscometer: How to Choose the Right Instrument Based on Coating Type
The rotational viscometer measures viscosity by detecting rotor torque and can analyze rheological properties at different shear rates, making it suitable for research and precise measurements. The Stormer viscometer uses the load at a fixed rotational speed to determine the KU value, simulating construction conditions, and is commonly used for rapid on-site evaluation of coating application performance.
Application of Stormer Viscometer KU Value in Coating Viscosity Control
This article introduces the application of KU values measured by the Stormer viscometer in the coatings industry. The KU value reflects the viscosity of coatings by measuring the torque at a specific rotational speed, with higher numbers indicating greater viscosity.
