Cylinder Rotational ViscoMeter

The cylindrical rotational viscometer drives a cylinder to rotate within a sample via a motor, measuring the torque required to maintain a constant rotational speed. This torque is proportional to the viscous resistance of the sample, and the viscosity value is derived through conversion. It is used for detecting the viscosity of fluids such as coatings and inks, guiding adjustments in production processes.
Selection
When selecting, match the sample viscosity range with the instrument's measurement range, and consider temperature control requirements. Choose a rotor made of appropriate material based on the corrosiveness of the sample, and confirm the accuracy of speed adjustment. Pay attention to the data output method and ease of calibration, ensuring the measurement environment complies with safety standards.
