Surface Coating ViscoMeter

The surface coating viscometer measures viscosity by detecting the resistance encountered by a rotor rotating within the coating, reflecting the flow characteristics of the coating. It is used in paint production to control application performance, in printing inks to adjust leveling properties, and in plastic coatings to monitor thickness uniformity.
Selection
When selecting, consider the compatibility of the coating type with the rotor material. Use paddle rotors for high-solid-content coatings. The measurement range should cover the actual viscosity range. Choose stainless steel rotors for solvent-based coatings. The operating environment determines whether a portable or benchtop model is needed, while explosion-proof models are required for online monitoring. The data interface should correspond to the recording needs.
