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
