Rotational Spindle ViscoMeter

The rotational viscometer drives a rotor to spin within the sample via a motor, measures the viscous resistance encountered by the rotor, and converts it into the fluid viscosity value. It is used for fluid viscosity testing in industries such as coatings and inks, monitoring the flow characteristics of materials during the production process.
Selection
Select the rotor model and speed combination based on the viscosity range of the material to be tested; choose the appropriate rotor material considering the properties of the material; select an instrument with the corresponding resolution according to measurement accuracy requirements; ensure that the rotor is compatible with the dimensions of the sample container.
