It is suitable for the complete characterization of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids including the measurement of yield points or thixotropy. RS232 computer connection is standard and the special Thermo Haake application software optionally. The torque required to maintain a defined rotational speed is measured using a stiff torsion element with a maximum deflection of 1 degree by a contact free LVDT transducer. The applied speed is controlled precisely by a stepper motor using micro step technique to increase accuracy. The ViscoTester 550 is available in 2 ready to use packages complete with stand, sensor system and temperature vessel.
Optional items are a circulator for temperature control and software for computer usage.
