Cone and Plate Viscometer Supplier and Dealer in India

Paints or inks often are in different shear rates status from manufacturing to application. As a typical non-Newtonian fluid, paints or inks always show different viscosity characteristics at different shear rates.

Generally speaking, paints are in a low shear rate state when it is stored, transported, levelling, and sagging. But they are in the medium shear rate when being pumped, dipped, and mixed at a low speed. At high-speed dispersion, roll, spray, and brush coating, they are in a high shear state, and the shear rate is generally 9000s⁻¹ to 12000s⁻¹. Therefore, understanding the rheological characteristics of paints or inks at such high shear rates requires the use of a cone-plate viscometer to measure.

The BGD 182 Cone-and-plate Viscometer uses a special angle conical spindle, which generates a very high shear rate on the measured sample under the high-speed drive of a stepper motor. It conforms to ISO 2884-1 (Paints and varnishes — Determination of viscosity using rotary viscometers — Part 1: Cone-and-plate viscometer operated at a high rate of shear).

Features :

• 7-inch touch screen: Menu operation, rich display content (measurement values, spindle No., speed, shear rate, etc.), simple and convenient to operate.
• Beautiful and durable metal shell: Use a handle to lift up and down, precise and fast positioning, high reliability.
• Electrical design: The electrical part of the machine has been carefully designed, ensuring high reliability, precision, stability, and ease of use.
• ARM chip processor: Offers faster data processing speed.
• High precision linear calibration: Conducted before leaving the factory, capable of interpolating multiple points to ensure higher measurement accuracy.
• Stepless speed measurement: Measure the sample viscosity by stepless speed, allowing operators to choose different shear rates based on actual application conditions of the sample.
• Variable viscosity measurement: The measured viscosity values vary continuously, and many viscosity units can be freely interchanged.
• The instrument automatically alarms when the measurement exceeds the range.
• High-speed data transmission interface ensures a fast and stable communication connection between the instrument and the computer.
• Data storage and exporting data by an external USB function.
• Built-in high-precision PT100 temperature sensor, with high temperature control accuracy and good stability.
