Dial ViscoMeter

The pointer viscometer measures fluid resistance by driving the pointer deflection through a spring, displaying the viscosity value. It is used for quality control of fluids such as paints and inks. During operation, the rotor rotates in the sample, and the pointer indicates the viscosity reading.
Selection
When selecting, consider the measurement range and accuracy to match the sample characteristics. Check if the rotor specifications are suitable for the sample volume and confirm the temperature effects. Evaluate the ease of operation and calibration requirements, and determine the model based on the budget.
