The Thermo Scientific viscometer type Viscotester 550 is specially designed for quality control applications. It is a rotational viscometer that accurately, quickly and easily measures the viscosity and flow behavior of liquid and semi-solid test materials. All results such as viscosity, shear stress, shear rate, yield strength and operating temperature are displayed in the digital LED display.
The Viscotester 550 doesn’t mind if a sample is thin like an oil, a paint or a ceramic slurry or as pasty as creams, ointments or a PVC plastisol. One unit covers the entire application range from very thin to very thick.
Even more demanding tasks will be fulfilled. For example, the automatic characterization of the flow behavior of non-Newtonian fluids or the determination of the yield point can be done using the CD principle (= Controlled Deformation). Any of a set of 10 predefined routines will be executed with utmost precision and repeatability.
NB! Calibration was valid until August 2021 and comes WITHOUT software.
