Description

The High Temperature Viscometer YG0547 // YG0550 is an advanced instrument designed for precise viscosity measurement across a wide range of materials, especially non-Newtonian liquids that require accurate temperature control and small sample volumes. Featuring a coaxial center structure, this viscometer uses small sample adapters, allowing measurements with as little as 15-20 ml of sample. This makes it particularly suitable for expensive or limited samples, while still providing highly reliable and repeatable results.

The device offers a temperature control range from room temperature +10°C to 250°C, with an optional 300°C heating furnace for high-temperature applications. With a display accuracy of two decimal places, this viscometer ensures highly precise readings. The timing measurement function is especially useful for non-Newtonian liquids, where viscosity is not only dependent on temperature and shear rate but also on the length of the measurement time. By ensuring consistent measurement timing, this feature guarantees that the data is both accurate and comparable across tests. Furthermore, the RS232 interface allows for seamless integration with micro printers and computers, making data collection and documentation effortless.
