Cone and Plate Viscometer (CP1) Excluding cone – SH1693

 Cone and Plate Viscometer

The Cone and Plate Viscometer (CP1) is a standard test for dynamic viscosity measurements. It is faster and more accurate by use of new high precision microprocessor controls. As non-Newtonian fluids exhibit different viscosities relative to the shear rate applied, the Cone and Plate Viscometer tightly controls it to 10,000S-1 (B.S./ ISO requirements) or to 12,000S-1 (ASTM). These are generally accepted to be representative of paint application via a roller or brush and so reflect ‘real world’ application.

Temperature controlled Cone and Plate Viscometer

As most viscosity measurements are highly temperature sensitive the samples are placed on a temperature controlled plate which can be set from 5°C to 65°C.
The Cone and Plate Base Unit comes without cone kit. Cone kits to be ordered separately.

More about Cone and Plate Viscometers

A Temperature Controlled Cone and Plate Viscometer is a specialized instrument used for measuring the dynamic viscosity of fluids, particularly non-Newtonian fluids such as paints, inks, or glues. These types of materials exhibit different viscosities depending on the shear rate applied to them.

The viscometer consists of a cone that rotates at a high speed over a stationary, temperature-controlled plate. A small amount of the fluid to be tested is placed between the cone and the plate. As the cone rotates, it applies a known shear stress to the fluid, and the resulting shear rate is measured. The ratio of shear stress to shear rate gives the dynamic viscosity of the fluid.

The temperature control feature is crucial because the viscosity of many fluids is highly dependent on temperature. By maintaining a constant temperature, the viscometer ensures that any changes in measured viscosity are due to the properties of the fluid itself, not changes in temperature.

Some advanced models of these viscometers are fully automated and can provide precise, repeatable measurements. They may also include features like rapid temperature control, adjustable pre-heating time, and magnetic coupling to ensure accurate, consistent results.

In conclusion, a Temperature Controlled Cone and Plate Viscometer is an essential tool in industries where control of fluid viscosity is critical, such as paint manufacturing, food processing, and pharmaceuticals. By providing accurate, reliable viscosity measurements, it helps these industries ensure the quality and performance of their products.
