Product Description
The High-Temperature Viscometer models YG0547, YG0548, YG0549, and YG0550 are precision instruments designed for accurate viscosity measurement across a wide range of temperatures. These viscometers are equipped with a liquid-crystal display that ensures clear readings and user-friendly operation. With a versatile speed range, from 0.5 to 100 rotations per minute across a total of 18 speeds, these models offer exceptional flexibility in testing various fluid types.
The viscometers come with standard rotor configurations, which vary depending on the model. The measuring range of these rotors spans from low-viscosity liquids to highly viscous substances, catering to different industry needs. For instance, model YG0547 includes rotors that can measure from as low as 3 mPa.s, whereas the YG0550 extends the measuring capacity up to 16M mPa.s.
Engineered for high precision, these devices maintain a test error of ±3% with Newtonian liquids and a repetitive error of ±1.5%. The temperature control range is meticulous, offering a control from room temperature plus 10℃ up to 250℃, with an option to extend up to 300℃, and with a control accuracy of 0.1℃, users can achieve reliable and consistent results.
Additionally, these viscometers support data transfer through a print interface, facilitating detailed reporting and analysis. Designed to meet rigorous industry standards, these instruments are robust, offering both efficiency and reliability in laboratory environments.
