n-Hexane Viscosity Tester

The n-hexane viscosity tester determines viscosity by measuring the resistance encountered by a rotor rotating in an n-hexane solution. It is used to evaluate the solubility of resins in inks and coatings and to control the solvent evaporation rate during production. In the plastics and printing industries, it is employed to adjust the fluidity of formulations.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the sample characteristics with the measurement range, and ensure the instrument has temperature control functionality to account for environmental temperature effects. The operation interface should be simple and easy to read, and the rotor material must be resistant to n-hexane corrosion. Verify the calibration certificate from a metrology institution, and compare the maintenance costs and stability of spare parts supply across different brands.
