Rotational Sphere ViscoMeter

The rolling ball viscometer measures the viscosity of a liquid by determining the rolling time of a steel ball as it descends through the liquid in an inclined test tube. It is used for detecting the viscosity of fluids such as coatings and inks to control the quality of production processes.
Selection
When selecting a rotational viscometer, it is necessary to match the viscosity range of the material being tested, consider temperature control requirements, confirm the compatibility of the test tube material, check timing accuracy, and verify standard certification requirements.
