Rotational ViscoMeter (Rotary Type)

A rotational viscometer measures the viscosity of fluids by generating resistance through the rotation of a rotor in the sample. It is used for quality control in industries such as coatings and inks to monitor the flow characteristics of materials during production.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the sample viscosity range with the instrument's measuring range, ensuring the rotor shape suits the sample characteristics, and that the temperature control accuracy meets testing requirements. Pay attention to the instrument's calibration method and data output functionality, while also balancing ease of operation with maintenance costs.
