Rotational-Type Viscosity Instrument

Rotational viscometers measure viscosity by rotating a rotor in a sample and calculating the torque generated by fluid resistance. They are used to test the flow characteristics of fluids such as coatings and inks, and are applied in quality control in industries such as printing and plastics.
Selection
When selecting a rotational viscometer, considerations should include matching the sample's viscosity range with the instrument's measuring range, ensuring the rotor shape is suitable for the fluid type, verifying that the temperature control function meets the testing environment requirements, confirming the operation interface aligns with user habits, and ensuring maintenance convenience fits the laboratory conditions.
