byko-visc RT Rotational Viscometer
Viscosity is an important material property which needs to be specified and controlled in order to optimize how a liquid flows, spreads, or levels under certain conditions. The byko-visc RT provides flexibility for any measurement task, delivering precise and repeatable measurements for a wide range of applications.
Key Features
- Robust design
- Adjustable stand
- Easy snap-on spindle attachment
- Solvent resistant housing
- Ready right out of the box – no assembly needed
- 5" color touch screen display (800 × 600)
- Large capacitive color touch-screen with intuitive navigation
- Preset buttons to quickly recall often used measuring parameters
- Electronic bubble leveling with adjustable feet
- ISO 17025 calibration certificate supplied with each instrument
Applications
Available with three different sensitivities and optional accessories, the byko-visc RT can measure viscosity from near water-like viscosity to very high viscosity ranges.
- Lacquers, paints, primers, resins
- Lubricants
- Pharmaceuticals, creams, lotions, liquid soaps
- Beverages, dressings, sauces
- Epoxies, sealants, and pastes
Compatibility
The byko-visc RT line is compatible with many other rotational viscometer models in terms of results, measurement parameters, and accessories, like spindles. This allows users to easily transition to a byko-visc RT system.
Standards Compliance
The byko-visc RT is ideal to test the viscosity of liquids and pastes in compliance with ASTM D2196, ISO 2555 and ISO 1652 standards.
