A&D's unique tuning fork vibration method promises you high accuracy and wide measurement range without replacing sensor plates. Sine-wave Vibro viscometers measure viscosity by detecting the driving electric current necessary to resonate the two sensor plates at constant frequency of 30Hz and amplitude of less than 1mm.
High measurement accuracy with excellent repeatability of 1% of reading
Selectable wide measurement range means samples with low to high viscosity can be measured without changing the sensor plates
Thin and small sensor plate makes it is less influenced by the temperature change of the sample fluid and as a result the viscosity measurement tracks the change of viscosity of sample fluid
Can detect accurate temperature immediately because the fluid and the detection unit (sensor plates) with small surface area/thermal capacity reach the thermal equilibrium in only a few seconds
Does not cause damage to the sample fluid and allows measurement of cloud point of samples such as surface active agents and of surface/interface changes such as wettability
With viscosity standard, viscosity calibration can be easily done - 1 or 2 point calibration is selectable in the calibration mode
Non-Newtonian sample viscosity measurement - thin sensor plates allow little deformation of sample texture and thus enable measurement of stable viscosity values
Foaming sample measurement - low drive frequency of 30Hz allows measurement of foaming samples without breaking minute foams and with less influence scattering larger foams
Flowing sample measurement - even the viscosity of flowing samples can be measured, including liquid in turbulent flow, which enables field management with identical data used at the laboratories
Separated type model composed of the display unit and main unit offering excellent placement flexibility
Avoid unnecessary reading errors with easy-to-read, large, clear display
Standard sample cup requires the sample fluid of just more than 35mL so you do not need to waste too much sample fluid
Due to the simple structure, the SUS 304 stainless steel sensor plates and temperature sensor (all gold plated) and protector can be easily and quickly cleaned
Sol and gel sample fluid like a starch can be measured during the change of material characteristic.
RS-232C comes standard for your PC or printer connectivity and the connection cable (25 pin - 9 pin) is also standard accessory for your convenience
Data collection and graphing software - WinCT-Viscosity (RsVisco) is software to import the measured data of viscosity and temperature to a PC and display graphically the changes in real-time for your analysis
