Overview of Cone and Plate Viscometer:

The PAINTLAB+ Cone & Plate Viscometer provides high accuracy viscosity measurement of non-newtonian paints and coatings and features:

• High accuracy measurement
• Fully automated
• Dual speed operation
• Ultra precise temperature control

This Viscometer is specifically designed to provide stringent testing conditions to allow the measurement of these materials as the viscosity changes according to the shear stress that is applied.

A precision wear resistant cone rotating at high speed on a temperature controlled plate produces standardised shear rates during measurement. Fully automated operation ensures rapid and accurate positioning of the cone onto the plate each time after the plate temperature has reached its preset value.

Results are displayed instantly on screen after test.. Real-time high resolution graphing provides monitoring of changes in viscosity during measurement allowing the identification of changes in flow behaviour.

Features of the Cone and Plate Viscometer:

• Real time high resolution graphing of test samples
• Results displayed on screen immediately after test
• High stability motor speed control for accuracy and repeatability of measurement
• Easy clean design- even in the harshest environment both screen and chassis are easy to clean
• Date / time stamped results output to printer
• Annual re-calibration can be performed by user
• Extended warranty
